Dear Wine Lover,

The Los Angeles Times picked some of their favorite Pinot Noirs to review in the April 25th 2007 Food Section. Listed below are their comments on the Pinots that we still have in stock.

2005 Capiaux Chimera Sonoma County Pinot Noir Sale $25.89 Was $28.00
From a variety of mostly Sonoma Coast sources, this Pinot is deep and dark in color, with scents of raspberry and plum, juicy bing cherry flavors.
2004 Stephen Ross Aubaine Vineyard Arroyo Grande Valley Pinot Noir Sale $38.89 Was $40.00
A fascinating wine, vinous and deep, with powerful aromas of blueberries and black plum, with a hint of sage, thyme and rose petals. Still youthful on the palate, very concentrated and young, rippling with intensity.
2005 Cargasacchi Santa Rita Hills Pinot Noir Sale $41.89 Was $44.00
Beautiful lifted and light, there’s a gentleness to this Pinot with its scents of wild strawberry and plums. Nicely balances with a bit of complexity and an earthy bottom note that grounds the wine and gives it length. One of the prettier wines on the table.
2005 Loring Wine Co. Clos Pepe Vineyard Santa Rita Hills Pinot Noir Sale $42.89 Was $48.00
A big extract wine with a scent of crushed berries and ripe cherries. It’s well-balanced and likable, with plenty of fat, ripe flavor, and intense concentration.
2005 Eric Kent Stiling Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir Limited $49.99
From a small family-owned vineyard, this earthy wine has sweet red fruit aromas, with notes of pine, wintergreen, and dried rose petals. Plenty of nerve and intensity, with a caramel-like oak component, a soft, supple texture and a nice minerality that makes you want to keep going back to the glass.
2004 Red Car Winery "Amour Fou" Russian River Valley Pinot Noir Limited $59.99
The biggest and baddest of the bunch, reflecting a newer, more high-powered style that resembles Syrah in intensity and structure. A powerful red-fruited wine with lots of chunky oak and velvety texture that hints at Russian River nuance but takes in over the edge. "Over the top," one taster wrote, and that it is, for those who like their Pinots big.
