Natalie's Estate
Elton Pinot noir 06
$29.95/$26.95
Mind-blowing satiny texture, you can drink it just to appreciate the supple body. Bonus, there's more--sophisticated soft raspberry tones and bits of dried rose petal build through the finish, picking up shades of darker berries and minerals. Miniscule-production (145 cases) Pinot from famed 27 year-old Elton Vineyard Pommard vines. Outstanding value.

Cancilla Cellars Pinot noir 06
$29.95/$26.96
Lively red fruit fruit in a silky package. Sweet raspberry pie, red currant, wild strawberry and milk chocolate coats your palate. Juicy acidity balances the almost sappy fruit on the finish The 06 Cancilla is flashy and seductive, yet retains some of the elegance and delightful earth characteristics of Cancilla Pinots. This is awesome drinking Pinot.

Redman Pinot noir 06
$26.95/$24.25
Redman's 2006 Pinot noir features red fruit in both scent and flavor, which is typical of the 2006 vintage. Aromas of red currant and red raspberry dominate, with hints of fresh turned earth and fresh herbs in the mix. Silky flavors of bing cherry, red currant, and tart pie cherry, transition effortlessly to the fresh rosemary, pie spice, and black plum-accented finish. The Redman wines are made by Michael Beckley, one of our favorite winemakers, who also makes wines under his own Quercus label (Harmonia, Cadmus, etc.)

Et Fille Palmer Creek Pinot noir 06
$31.95/$28.75
This wine is kicking butt right now! At first pour, wiffs of dusted rose petals and allspice mix with red fruit perfume--it pulls you in. Loads of pie cherry and raspberry hit the front of your palate and sweeten as the wine moves to the finish. There's an almost hidden base note of darker berries that elongates the finish. The Palmer Creek's elegant texture works great with food but it's smokin' on its own, too.
