This shows more of a fatter Russian River Pinot Noir, with intense notes of dark bramble, dark plums, wild berries, dried herbs, vanilla and charred cedar. The palate is fat, rich yet with that Russian River lushness. The fruits are certainly more on the darker side with a crushed stone, forest floor, and smokiness. Did they overdo the oak on this?

The Third Annual Blind Tasting of American Pinot Noir (My House, Houston, TX): Retail $66. Fruity (red and blueberries) with eucalyptus, and an herbal quality (not quite a full-blown mint, but close). The palate opens with fruit, but never quite comes around to the tartness I am looking for in a Pinot. Still? Pretty darned good. Very Good. 89 Points. thedrunkencyclist.com

OK. Plum and dark berry fruit. Missing that "oomph" that would make it very good
