[Washington Wine Report] Washington Wine Report: Rusty Grape Vineyard 2007 Pinot Noir: The wine has an engaging nose but a palate that is heavier than expected for a Pinot.

[WineWisdom] Regional New Zealand Pinot Noir?: Some pinot noir from Martinborough does seem to have an earthy, forest floor/forest berry component, and can be a more full-bodied style, but still within the pure pinot noir genre.  I’ve also found notable earthiness and weight in some Canterbury/Waipara examples.

[Non Serviam] Non Serviam » NZ XIII: Wine in Central Otago: Typically each vineyard makes a first and a second label, the second to be drunk within the year or so, and the other possible to store for some few years. Top labels get to rest on new french oak barrels, whereas the cheaper (not exactly plonk or quaff wines, but not as complex, and in a moderate price range) are left on steel tanks with oak chips added.

The first taste is full of dark fruit, alcohol and pepper, creating one of the more interesting Pinots you will find in this price range ($18).

[PALATE PRESS] 2005 Wild Earth Pinot Noir : PALATE PRESS: There is also a sense of old velvet, a dusty musky earthy flavor coming mostly from dusty sweet tannins. A fairly tight streak of acid will make this match well with richer poultry dishes. WHO Wild Earth WHAT Pinot Noir ...

[Waits-Mast] 2008 PINOT NOIR, HEIN VINEYARD, ANDERSON VALLEY: All in all, it’s classic Anderson Valley Pinot Noir. Good acidity and subtle tannins provide structure to make this an enjoyable, food-friendly wine for years to come.

[Ellen on Wine] Ellen on Wine » Blog Archive » Gems in My Glass”¦November 2009: 2006 Musee Bordeaux Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Verdot are combined into this predominately Merlot blend that results in a darkly hued, briary wine with a firm muscular structure and tons of depth. Boysenberry, blackberry, plum and black currant flavors weave nicely with the pleasing oak, earthiness and Asian spices and captivate the palate.

In order to receive this certification the growers must go through a rigorous process to prove their continuing commitment to environmental stewardship, social equity, and economic vitality.

I think that's a great way to describe Santa Maria Pinot Noir.

[Brazenly Lucid Wines] WINNER, WINNER, TURKEY DINNER! A FEW SUGGESTIONS FOR THANKSGIVING...: I am also quite convinced that grenache has a place on the Thanksgiving table even more so then the traditional pinot noir. Whether it is a garnacha from Spain or a southern Rhone red made predominately of grenache, I feel that the spice and richness of these wines would be an excellent compliment.
