2019 The Pinot Project California Pinot Noir
13.5% alc.,
$10.99 (Bottle Barn, Santa Rosa). Vinted and bottled by The
Pinot Project, Geyserville, CA.
·
Moderately light garnet color in
the glass. Inviting aromas of red cherry, allspice and oak spice.
Light to mid-weight in style, featuring flavors of cherry and ripest
strawberry with a dustin go oak. No rough edges, with silky
tannins and a cherry-fueled finish with some length. Excellent
value.
Score: 89.

2012 The Pinot Project California Pinot Noir
13.5% alc., $8.99, screwcap. Founded in 2009 by importer
Michael Skurnik. Raised in approximately 15% French oak barrels and 85% stainless steel for 4-5 months.
·
Medium reddish-purple color in the glass. The nose is lacking in fruit appeal, showing aromas of exotic spice,
oak and underbrush. A bit thin and flat with flavors of black cherry and anise and some finishing presence of
black cherry fruit. Pleasant, but dilute and unexciting.
Score: 83.

2011 The Pinot Project California Pinot Noir
13.5% alc., $9.99.
·
Moderate reddish-purple color in the glass.
Slightly confected aromas of strawberries and red cherries with hints of spice and pine forest. Soft in the
mouth with a moderately intense core of dark red cherry and raspberry fruit with a floral and pine needle
sidecar. Soft in the mouth with a short finish. A pretty good Pinot for the money, but the pine forest adjunct
(still present the following day from a previously opened bottle) was not pleasing to me. Decent.

2010 The Pinot Project California Pinot Noir
13.5% alc., $9.99.
·
Moderately deep reddish-purple color in the glass. Complex and
pleasant nose offering scents of black cherries, cut flowers, spice and
Herbs de Provence. The flavors echo the nose with added notes of
cranberries, Hoison sauce and a touch of citrus on the finish. Well-structured
with appealing acidity. A solid wine intended for early and
daily drinking. Good (+).
