This is dusty, and scented with earth and pine needles. Quite young, it tastes very tart, almost like cranberry juice. With significant breathing time it begins to broaden out and hint at a dusty, chocolate undertone. Good grip and medium body. 1 Note

Don’t discount this Pinot Noir because it’s in a screw top and the price is under $20. It’s quite a nice wine, dry and silky. Made in a lighter style to be opened now, it has pleasant cherry, cola and sandalwood flavors. 1 Note

This is a very dry, silky Pinot Noir made in a more restrained manner than some of the big, huge ones out there. It doesn’t whack your head, but appeals for its elegance. Shows sophisticated cherry, sassafras and sandalwood flavors, and the price is extremely good for the quality. 1 Note

With a touch of wood, this wine has some good weight to balance the very fresh raspberry and crisp berry acidity. There is a toasty element, but crisp fruit dominates. 1 Note

I love this wine. It’s more like a Provençal rosé than almost anything out there, even though it’s made from Pinot Noir. Dry, crisp and silky, it has interesting waves of cherryskin, rosehip tea, tobacco, vanilla and peppery spice flavors, and finishes impressively long. 1 Note

From a cool vintage, this offers slightly leafy, tomato-like aromas and flavors layered over the cherry fruit and adding tea-like flavors on the finish. 1 Note

A bit raw, but dry and crisp, with a pleasantly silky mouthfeel. The cherry, cola and wintergreen flavors finish with a bite of acidic sharpness. 1 Note

Gallo’s Pinot Noir has been variable over the years, and the ’05 is not one of their better efforts. The wine has a burnt taste, maybe from charred barrels, and is pretty thin in cherry-berry flavor. Yet it’s dry and silky. 1 Note

A nice effort at a nice price, the 2007 Piko Pinot Noir captures that elusive supple, silky mouthfeel of Pinot, then adds black cherry fruit, touches of mushroomy complexity and hints of vanilla and cinnamon. A delicate but strong herbal note adds a sinewy core. Drink now–2012. 1 Note

The Jack Ranch has been source to very good Syrahs and Chardonnays from several wineries, but York Mountain’s Pinot Noirs haven’t been as successful. This wine is a little hot and jammy, with simple cherry, fig and vanilla flavors. 1 Note
