A young light wine a little alcohol forward but palatable. I found this delicious light red wine to have a nutty element to the fruitful flavor with a slight bitter aftertaste. I would recommend this for light meals or with cheese and fruit platters. A wonderful understated compliment.

I was fortunate enough to hear about the wine from the winemaker himself. It has some fruit-forward note, but was very mellow with well-rounded tannis. It wasn't overbearing, but would have paired well with a variety of dishes from steak and lamb to a nice red sauce pasta dish. The tobacco flavors were also a lovely element.

For under $10, you get nice cherries, some floral accents, and some oak. Flavors burst with cherry, plum, and some oak with a hint of vanilla on the finish. Not as complex as some Pinots, though, but the structure and balance were there nonetheless.

The 2008 Pinot Noir produced with grapes from Russian River Valley exhibited a beautiful garnet color. After about 30 minutes, I was impressed with its chorus of sweet, dried cherries, blueberries some hints of toasted oak, and a nicely formed and light-bodied structure. Flavors of cherry, spices (thyme maybe?), and blueberries were a welcome explosion on the palate. The finish was long and satisfying and the tannins were silky smooth. This paired very well with Mediterranean encrusted salmon. Highly recommended; $13.

This Pinot Noir was harvested in Redwood Valley, Mendocino in late September of 09. It was aged in small neutral oak barrels for 9 months. Aromas were pretty layered with cherry, spice, and pepper. Flavors included cherry, spice, a very light oak, and plum. It exhibited a light body, soft tannins, and a nice lengthy finish. Very subtle complexity. It began like a Burgundy, fooling you into thinking it was fermented in stainless steel, but the oak got you on the finish. This was a really good Pinot. $22

A rich and fruity flavorful gem of a pinot noir. Plus a POSIC chip from Cypress Semiconductor embedded in the neck of the bottle! The winery owner, TJ Rodgers, was the founder of Cypress and takes a very scientific approach to winemaking.

What a delicious Pinot Noir. Merits every penny of its $101.50 price tag.A light ruby rim with a beautiful, Burgundy core, the Clos de la Tech Domaine du Docteur Rodgers is also, not surprisingly, totally Burgundian in character. Rosehip and cranberry on the nose, elderberry, black currant, and black plum in the mid-palate. Awesomely well-integrated tannins on the finish. Can't wait to taste this in 10 years again!

This Pinots' brick red color and bright, red fruit flavors (raspberry, red cherry) belie its origin of Sonoma vs. Oregon. I'm a big fan of this wine- not as chewey as earlier vintages, super Oregonian, and downright tasty.
