2008 La Crema Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast

Simple, fruit-forward red cherry, tasty. Solid enough for $22.

2008 Treasure Hunter Wines Pinot Noir 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.

2008 Au Bon Climat Pinot Noir Santa Barbara County
89 points
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
Red
2007 Demetria Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills
92 points
Wow. Ripe nose, massive, slightly bretty. Beautiful mouthfeel, glycerin bomb, but only 13.5% alcohol. Very new world and massive, but also elegant. $43
Red
2007 Sineann Pinot Noir Oregon
88 points
Shyer nose. More elegant, lighter. Simple for the price of $35

2007 Sineann Pinot Noir Resonance Vineyard

Not showing as well as I remember it. Odd nose, with sea brine. Bigger, than the basic Oregon, but still restrained. Burgundian. $47
