2014 Chappellet Pinot Noir Dutton RanchRussian River Valley more |
1/16/2017 - CTTarheel Likes this wine: 90 pointsHeavy floral scent. Darker fruit for a Pinot. Raspberry, plum, cola. Opened up after a few days. A bit heavier than I prefer for Pinot. Need some food to go with it. Paired well with salmon. |

2011 Willamette Valley Vineyards Pinot Noir Estatemore |
4/5/2015 - CTTarheel Likes this wine: 90 pointsLively, enjoyeable Pinot. Smooth texture, with definite cola, spice (I think I can taste subtle root beer flavor). Refined, except for the root beer of course. Good value and versatile, can be paired with salmon, pasta, chicken... Very enjoyable. |

10/4/2014 - CTTarheel Likes this wine: 93 pointsOne of my favorites! Well balanced. Dark red color with definite spice/clove overtones with a bit of fruit. A bit of blackberry and nutmeg. Long finish and medium tannins. Great with without food or with food (red sauces, steak, salmon). Enjoyable at nice value. |

2011 A to Z Wineworks Pinot NoirOregon more |
1/20/2014 - CTTarheel Likes this wine: 87 pointsVery light colored Pinot; pleasant licorice and tobacco nose, and light fruit, cherry and spice taste. Limited tannins and body with short finish. Enjoyable wine but perhaps not worth the price. |

2010 Bokisch Vineyards Monastrell Belle Colline Vineyard Lodimore |
1/15/2014 - CTTarheel Likes this wine: 85 pointsDark red color and aroma of fruit and spice. Decent wine but not as enjoyable as Bokisch Tempranillo and Graciano. Not much fruit with rather rich tannins - possibly needs to open up and definitely need to drink with food. Also, finish was lacking. |

2011 Mooiplaas Pinotage The BeanStellenbosch more |
10/24/2013 - CTTarheel wrote: 79 pointsCheapo Pinotage, the grape of South Africa. Dark inky color. Smell of coffee, rubber, dark cherry. Heavy tannins with some coffee, spice, raspberry taste. Drank without food and probably could have used something heavy for balance. Decent, a break from heavy fruit but nothing special. |

2010 Primarius Pinot NoirOregon more |
7/17/2013 - CTTarheel wrote: 85 pointsTranslucent ruby color and rather thin. Mild strawberry nose. Silky, medium long finish, with very little acidity. A bit overpowered by salmon dish, almost too reserved, even for Pinot. Nice weekday wine though at nice value. OK to drink without food. |

2011 Kendall-Jackson Chardonnay AvantCalifornia more |
7/15/2013 - CTTarheel wrote: 85 pointsDecent, clean version of KJ Chard. Unoaked, but I miss the oak. Citrus fruits abound but missing personality. Having with salmon which overpowers Avant, but would be good with something lighter. |

5/25/2013 - CTTarheel wrote: 87 pointsExtremely dark, heavy oak and fruit. Heavy fruit and richness punches you in the face. Need a steak or heavy, fatty food to accompany this one. Nice tannins and long finish but nothing too notable. Slightly overdone but nice wine. |
