...six of us tasted 6 pinot noirs from CA and OR.
Low points is the favorite.
6. 2011 Youngberg Hill Jordan (OR) $50 - 33pts - 4 lasts - light without much fruit, slightly astringent minerally finish
5. 2015 Reynolds Russian River Valley $48 - 25pts - 1 first, 2 lasts - ok but not distinctive
4. 2015 Siduri Yamhill-Carlton (OR) $30 - 24pts - ok but a little warm so it didn't taste well
3. 2016 Henderson Trail (OR) $34 - 16pts - 2 firsts (my 2nd) - smooth, flavorful
2. 2012 Willakenzie Keana (OR) $39 - 14pts - nice cherry fruit, slightly minerally finish
1. 2015 J Vineyards Russian River Valley $31 - 13pts - 2 firsts (my first) - soft, balanced, velvety
All of these started out tasting similar and were pretty good but over the hour or so some changed a little for the worse. One taster identified the 2 CA pinots finding them more fruit forward and less minerally.
Look at the point drop for the top 3. The J Vineyards should be easy to find and is highly recommended for the price.
