2007 Wallace Brook Pinot Noir
On Sale $17.99
"This delicious Pinot Noir comes from hillside vineyards in the northern end of Oregon's Willamette Valley. This new vintage of Wallace Brook shows a complex nose of black cherry and ripe plum. The round, supple mouthfeel is complemented by soft tannins and a balanced finish. Pair it up with grilled lamb, oven-roasted salmon, soft-ripened cheeses, etc."

2005 Argyle Pinot Noir "Nuthouse"
On Sale $49.99
"The Nuthouse cuvee is released a year behind the other Pinots. The 2005 Pinot Noir Nuthouse is one of the major successes of a challenging vintage. It has a slightly aged appearance and is exhibiting an alluring perfume of spice, red fruits, and blueberry. On the mid-palate it has a wide band of fruit atypical for 2005. It has the structure of the vintage so it may well evolve for 4-5 years and drink well through 2020. It is a home run for the vintage."

2007 Red Car Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast "Heaven & Earth

On Sale $59.99
"Delivers a tight, focused beam of rich, pure, concentrated black- berry and wild berry fruit that's full-bodied, complex and expan- sive on the finish, where this keeps unlocking doors of subtle flavors. Drink now through 2014. 292 cases made."
