TN: Jovino (Oregon) Pinot Noir, $48/750 ml (paid restaurant price at La Piazza, Troy, Ohio for this $22 bottle of undistinguished, but drinkable, Pinot noir). Doubt I could have told it from any other West Coast pinot on the basis of style. Good match with Atlantic salmon in tomato sauce. Typical colors, aromas, flavors; perhaps a touch heavier-weight than the average Burgundy in the same price range. Colas, cherry, and so forth.

Great QPR. Light fruit on the nose and great balance (fruit / acidity). Excellent with food (had Cedar planked Salmon). Did not blow me away but for ~ $23.00 would buy again. Have tasted 2x with similar notes.

Very light in color and body. Drinkable but certainly not remarkable

Awful. Little to no nose. Tasted like stewed prunes. I choked it down but just barely. Made a subsequent 2008 Erath pinot divine.

Light in body and color. Nice spice in the nose and taste. Neither fruity or earthy so a little light on the top. Finishes quickly.
