Trinitas Pinot Noir Carneros 2008 – 93 Points

Aromatics of candied red fruit, vanilla, mocha, and campfire. It boasts flavors of baked red apples covered in butter and cinnamon with a rich entry and broad mid palate. The weight of the fore- and mid-palate over shadow the delicate dark chocolate finish which will lengthen with age.

Chateau Sergant Lalande de Pomerol 2005 – 93 Points

Deep in color and heady with the scents of cedar, crushed blackberry, and chocolate.

Zepaltas Pinot Noir Russian River Valley 2008 – 93 Points

Immediately, this wine’s aromatics jump out of the glass: black cherry, tobacco, and allspice. The Russian River’s palate is structured and taught, but refreshing and bright. A slight grip of tannin gives the wine presence and fills out the finish. The mouth feel is powerful, and dense, and is a great candidate for those roasted fall dishes. This wine definitely has the framework to age at least 3 years, but is very accessible now.
