This is a fundamentally good Pinot. It fulfills the requirements of a silky texture and firm acids, and is fully dry. The oak seems outsized compared to the modest fruit, and the wine turns rather rough on the finish.

This is Toad Hall’s Meritage-style Bordeaux blend, 50-50 Cab and Merlot, and while it doesn’t have much depth, it appeals instantly for a rich array of flavors. Cherries, blackberries, cassis, mocha, mushu plum sauce—all of it slightly sweetened, but tannic enough to qualify as dry. Drink now for its youthful babyfat.

Kind of harsh and raw, this wine shows herbal flavors and dry tannins. It’s not going anywhere, so drink up.

At 5 years, this wine remains tannic, with modest blackberry and oak flavors. Turns dry and astringent on the finish, and not likely to go anywhere, but it’s okay.

Middle of the road Pinot, dry, silky and balanced, with cherry, cola and rhubarb flavors. There’s a hit of tannins in the finish.

There’s lots of rich, ripe Pinot fruit in this wine. The flavors range from black and red cherries to black raspberries and blackberries, with cola and coffee notes and a coating of toasty oak. Has a simple sweetness throughout.

Rather tannic and rough, with an earthy, mulchy quality beside the cherries and sweet oak, but there’s a nice silkiness to the texture, and a spicy finish. Drink now with steak.

A very nice, easy-drinking Pinot marked by cola, cherry, coffee and spice flavors that’s fancy without being particularly complex. It possesses a silkiness and dryness that make it a versatile companion to a wide range of foods. From Flora Springs.

This is dry wine, and properly silky, with earthy cola and cranberry-cherry flavors. It’s also young and tight and a little hot, but it’s not a wine to cellar.
