This is an eight dollar bottle of wine at Costco - we dug the 2006, so why not snag an 07?Black pepper and cherry on the nose.
A big cola quality here which is thrilling to my palate. Cherry notes as well - a relatively "big" Pinot Noir, but fairly light on tannin and a reasonable amount of acid.
A white pepper quality as well as some dried Italian spices, cherry, plum, and clove.
Never had Pinot Noir? Want to try one that actually tastes like PN but don't want to spend a ton? Here you go. Somewhat heavier in body than you'd expect from France, but still superior to anything I've had coming out of the US for even twice the price. It's not the most complex bottle, but you'd be hard pressed to find a better Pinot Noir for under fifteen bones.
Wine: 7.5
Value: Yes
