Pinot noir recommendations...

Posted by mkuller on January 20, 2012 at 09:28:51:
...after a holiday break, our monthly wine tasting group got together again.

There were five of us and we tasted 6 different pinot noirs.

All of the wines were pretty good but a couple stood out.

Meiomi 2010 $24 (Safeway) rated third place but was a little different than the others. It had a slightly fuller body, a strong vanilla note and its ripe fruit reminded me a little of port. Went well with the dark chocolate we had for desert.

La Crema 2009 $20 (everywhere) was the top scorer with 7 points (three first places and two seconds) - a surprise but well balanced with nice fruit. Highly recommended.
