I expressed my lukewarm reaction to a couple recent Pinot Noirs purchases and the Wine House proprietor said that she generally doesn't like the Oregon Pinots and suggested I try Sean Minor 4B. Carneros is a region that is known for great Pinot Noirs. Great suggestion! For me the wine smells and tastes of fresh strawberries. Mrs. Vino also gives it an A. There is more spice than I generally associate with Pinots - probably from the oak aging. At $17, this checks in at one of the better valued Pinot's we've tried and we'll look for it again! The vintner provides a detailed description of his wine making efforts on the web site, which I've linked. I found the effort involved impressive. Clearly this isn't some juice purchased on the open market!
