  • 2008 La Crema Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast - USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Coast
    Simple, fruit-forward red cherry, tasty. Solid enough for $22. (88 pts.)
  • 2008 Treasure Hunter Wines Pinot Noir Russian River Valley - USA, California, Sonoma County, Russian River Valley
    I have to admit, a $20 Pinot with a bottle this ugly didn't inspire confidence, but this was an excellent value. Shyish red nose, with a touch of whiteout. Great mouthfeel - slight glycerin roundness without a trace of heaviness. Good structure. Fairly simple, but delicious and fruit foward. Medium oak. Proof that you can't judge a book by its cover. (90 pts.)
  • 2008 Au Bon Climat Pinot Noir Santa Barbara County - USA, California, Central Coast, Santa Barbara County
    Big strawberry fruit on the nose, not at all shy. Round, but not overripe. Fruit-forward. Easy, but with a buried complexity and just a bit of poop. $20 (89 pts.)
  • 2007 Demetria Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills - USA, California, Central Coast, Sta. Rita Hills
    Wow. Ripe nose, massive, slightly bretty. Beautiful mouthfeel, glycerin bomb, but only 13.5% alcohol. Very new world and massive, but also elegant. $43 (92 pts.)
  • 2007 Sineann Pinot Noir Oregon - USA, Oregon
    Shyer nose. More elegant, lighter. Simple for the price of $35 (88 pts.)
  • 2007 Sineann Pinot Noir Resonance Vineyard - USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley
    Not showing as well as I remember it. Odd nose, with sea brine. Bigger, than the basic Oregon, but still restrained. Burgundian. $47 (89 pts.)
