2009 Jargon California Pinot Noir
13.5% alc., $10, screw cap.
·
Moderately light purple-red hue in the glass. Fresh scent of berry jam,
spice and vanilla. Medium weighted flavors of red berries and spiced
cherries wrapped in supple tannins. Nicely balanced with a silky
texture that makes for easy drinking. Definitely tastes like Pinot and
will please many at this price. Good

2007 Jargon California Pinot Noir
30,000 cases, $10, screw cap. The price is not
a misprint. This was a surprising find at the Pinot Noir Summit. The representatives
who were pouring the wine were not well informed and the website doesn’t reveal
much information, but then, that is the whole idea behind this Pinot Noir. Just drink
it, don’t dissect it! The wine is one of 25 labels of Trinchero Wine Estates,
apparently from estate vineyards in Monterey and “the Delta.” This is an “anti-snob”
wine and the website, wwwjargonwines.com, encourages the use of plastic cups.
The name “Jargon” is a stab at the prevalence of pretentious wine-speak, a
condition the producers term “jargonitis.” The 2006 vintage is widely accessible in
retail stores and the 2007 vintage will be more available soon.

This is about as easy
going a Pinot Noir as you will ever find. Bright red fruits, juicy and delicious, with a soft and smooth mouth feel
and no tannins in sight. Not a nuanced wine and lacks complex aromas and flavors and a lengthy finish but it
is a lovable wine that is well-crafted. In simple jargon: a good drink.

2007 Jargon California Pinot Noir
13.5% alc., $12, screw cap.

Moderate reddish-purple color. Dark stone
fruits are featured on the nose and palate, particularly spiced plum. The nose veers to prune, dark chocolate
and marzipan in the glass over time. A hint of roasted quality spoils the decent fruit core which has a citrus
underpinning. A basic Pinot. Not as good as the last time I sampled it several months ago. Decent (-).
