An illustration of the wide variety of styles of well made California Pinot Noirs. This Baileyana is a light bright wine with abundant red fruit, particularly strawberries and ripe red cherries. It has moderate acid and a touch of sweetness. It has a smooth texture, a clean finish, and a reasonable pricetag. Just don't expect a Richebourg or an Oregon Pinot Noir or even a Napa PN. This is a different kind of PN.

I have long been a fan of Sancerre wines and this is a good examle of their charms. Pale yellow with a lovely light citrus bouquet and moderately acidity. Reasonably priced and enjoyable with food or just for sipping.

Clear dark red wine with the characteristic Zinfandel dark fruit flavors. Black cherry, plum, blackberry. But not excessively fruity and with a nice moderate acidity and a clean finish. A very enjoyable wine for not a lot of money.
