This weeks selections:
Alexana Pinot 2010 (Regularly $39.99) $33.99 Tonight
- (Oregon) Tangy, focused and juicy, with blackberry, currant and subtle spice flavors, finishing with an open feel to the expressive finish. Shows impressive purity, clarity and length. 94 Points Wine Spectator
Londer Pinot 2007 (Regularly $34.99) $29.99 Tonight
- (Anderson Valley) “Bright, strawberry-like elements merge with the expected varietal themes of ripe cherries and a touch of brushy spice in the nose. These are carried forward in the wine’s rounded, mid-density flavors.” ~ Connosieurs Guide
Lynmar Estate Pinot 2007 (Regularly $34.99) $29.99 Tonight
- (Russian River Valley) This Pinot Noir is clearly fruit driven, hitting the palate with a pronounced sense of balance that glides to a long finish with no hard edges. This vintage was characterized by a broad, lush quality – offering firm structure and lovely concentration without ever edging towards heaviness. Tannins are perfectly ripe, adding structure and grip to a framework that allows this wine to age well.
Melville 2010 (Regularly $32.99) $27.99 Tonight
- (Santa Rita Hills) “This is an especially juicy, yet medium-bodied Pinot built on finesse and elegance. Longtime winemaker Greg Brewer has done a great job with these new releases; the 2010 is simply gorgeous.” ~ RP 92 WS 91 RP 91 WE
Meiomi Pinot 2012 (Regularly $24.99) $21.99 Tonight
- (3 Region Blend) Meiomi gets its fruit from Sonoma, Monterey, and Santa Barbara. The wine is crafted lush, balanced and luxurious. California’s most sought after coastal growing regions brilliantly meld together in this deeply flavored, stylish and truly balanced Pinot Noir.
