I can’t take credit for this find. Somehow I heard that this bottle won big at a recent SF competition. I can see why. Most $10 Pinot has a sharp almost bitter stab to it, while this one is rounded and soft, with a little bit of complexity (read: aftershocks of flavors you missed while it was in your mouth) on the finish. It is a little too fruity for my taste, but on the balance that is a small short-coming. I went back and bought 4 bottles for the cellar.
