This light- to medium-bodied Pinot features silky tannins that gently frame notes of cherry, cola and hints of roasted root vegetables. Finishes tart and a little cranberryish, yet with warming alcohol at the same time. Drink now. 1 Note

Smells and tastes sharp, but this acidity is expressed in sweet peppermint and wintergreen that adds a piquant, tart touch to the cherry and cocoa flavors. This is a really lovely Pinot, velvety, elegant and balanced, a wine that some other producers would charge far more for. 1 Note

A little rough for the smoothness you want in a nice Pinot, but a step up from last year, Pietra Santa’s ’06 release shows cherry and blackberry jam, currant and spice flavors. 1 Note

An improvement over the dull, mulchy 2005; this wine is still a little earthy, heavy and gaseous out of the bottle but with airing it offers ripe strawberry and plum flavors with licorice and tree-bark accents. Solid, a bit tannic and slightly resiny from barrel aging; but it’s also a legitimate Pinot Noir with some elevated qualities. 1 Note

Think of this as Baby Sineann; Peter Rosback made this light and pretty Pinot for vineyard owner Bob Morus. It’s an Oregon Beaujolais, from young vines and using no new oak. Impeccably fresh and just 13% alcohol, it tastes of clean, bright strawberry and cherry fruit. 1 Note

Soft and one-dimensional, with a silky texture and modest flavors of cherries, cola, sassafras and spices. 1 Note

This is a nicely made, varietally correct Pinot Noir from a region known more for its Bordeaux varieties (and increasingly Syrah). Delicate scents of tea, rose petals and cranberries set the stage for a light-bodied wine that features juicy raspberry and cranberry flavors with some herbal notes. 1 Note

This wine shows its cool-climate origins in the crispness and juiciness of its fruit. The black cherry and cola aromas and flavors are fresh and snappy, turning crisp on the finish. Drink now. 1 Note

Thin, dry and earthy, and not showing much fruit. The tobacco, dried herb and pepper flavors are only modestly relieved by a trace of cherries. 1 Note

This is a gentle, soft style of Pinot made for immediate consumption. Ripe cherries and dried spices take the lead, with just a slight herbal tang for complexity and a touch of crisp acidity on the finish. 1 Note
