Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Taylor rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

At an affordable price of around $20, this wine delivers true value and quality. The grapes are sourced from throughout the state of Oregon, thus the “Oregon” designation on the label. It has well-defined and upfront acidity as a good pinot should, bright red cherry and strawberry flavors, oak spiciness and dusty mushroom earthiness. Light-bodied and easy on the palate. $20.
Greg rated this wine as 1/100 with the following review:

Sharp, almost biting. Didn't really like it.
Erath’s Oregon Pinot Noir may quickly become the most widely available, moderately priced example of this state’s iconic varietal. This new vintage is tight and herbal, with true varietal character and Burgundian elegance. Tart red berries, hints of citrus rind, moderating acid and fine balance throughout.
