13.5%, closdubois.com Geyserville, CA
Lovely fruit filled nose. Smells of cherry, strawberry and rose petals. Clear, clean flavors of red ripe summer berries and plums. A hint of bitter and spice but just the perfect compliment. Delicate but strong. Clear but complex. My kind o' Pinot.

Escale Pinot Noir Vin de Pays D'oc
Product of France. Les Producteurs Renuis a F. 34360. 13%.
Importer: North American Beverage Group, Clarkson. MI
Tart fruit nose with a bit of sweetness. Up front flavors with plenty of strawberry, raspberry, and red huckleberry mixed with some cherry. Tart start but supple on the backside. (Hey I know some girls like that...). Nice plum to pink color. A tad of spice and cedar, but not as lingering and lasting as great Pinot. Good enough to drink before dinner or during football on Monday night.

Hangtime Pinot Noir Burgundy 2006
12.7%
Apellation Bourgogne Controlee, France
Imported by: Folio Wine Company, Napa, CA
Pinot nose of tart berry and cherry. Tart yet smooth fruit flavors. Quite drinkable but not overly exciting. Light body with a good tannin finish. Actually a pretty decent lower end Pinot.

Kris Pinot Noir 2007
Leonardo Locasci Delle Venezie
Kris Wine
Bottled by: Franz Haas S.R.I. Montagna (BZ), Italy
Imported by: Winebow, NY, NY
Soft and slightly alcoholic nose. Some nice fruit. Pretty color. Ruby red. Fruit in the mouth. A bit thin. Not much structure but tart clean on the finish. Drinkable and decent, but not up to the billing.

Talus Collection Pinot Noir 2006
Vin de Pays d'oc (AKA French swill), 13.5%

Mild nose. Some raspberry and a little hint of synthetic plastic-y stuff. Soft fruits, a bit tart, a little sweet. Drinkable but not interesting or complex. Nice linger of strawberry and maybe cranberry. Decent I guess but pretty boring stuff.

Chateau Diana, Healdsburg, CA, 13.8%
Fresh clean fruit on the nose. Pinot scent. Plenty of tart fruit flavors. Like berries, cherries, and currants. Nice sweetness and light body on the finish. Not intensely complex Pinot but tons of nice flavors and a good collections of notes throughout.

Castle Rock Pinor Noir California Cuvee 2007
Sonoma, 13.8%
Castle Rock Winery
Nice Pinot. Soft berry fruits on nose. A bit tart and acidic when just opened. Softened with a bit of time. Mostly tart stone fruit and strawberry jam flavors. Not soft mouth-feel. A bit of edge but approachable and fairly balanced. This is my type of Pinot for the low range price. Distinct and not as flat as the cheaper Pinot often can be. Good wine.
