Face off between two similarly priced Bien Nacido PInots. The Sandler is light with a gorgeous Burgundian nose. The Beckon is medium with more cherry. Sandler wins!

Fairly classic Bien Nacido. Bright raspberry fruit with fresh, lush and floral aromatics. Very lifted and pure.

Solid point noir but a little over priced for the taste

We got this on a closeout. Decent, single vineyard PN. Taste like Pinot: tart red fruit, a little wet dirt, good acidity. Probably drinking better now with a little age on it.

A middle of the road offering, IMO. Nothing outstanding, but still a solid mid-week drinker.

Light berry flavors on the front. Some, maybe needs to mature a little. Delightful.

Fresh black raspberries and blackberries on the nose with some warm spices, smooth on the palate but with some tingly tannins, light oak and vanilla with some baking spices, long finish. Bigger, spicier flavor than a typical California pinot.
