Soter. I’m really surprised there are not more Oregon preferences…Must be the best kept secret around!

22

I like earthier Pinots with some FUNK so I am going to say Cameron.

23

no contest here… Rochioli…

24

Extremely interesting thread for a Singaporean Burg-lover, whose only experience with American Pinot has been limited to Domains Drouhin and Serene, Ken Wright, Freeman and Aux Bon Climat. Please keep the posts coming.

Great sense of balance and grace while still showing great cali fruit!

Just wish it was not so pricey…

26

Another vote for Cameron.

Cameron.

Tough question. Looking just at CT it appears that I have liked Evesham the best over the last year or so, but I also recall an Eyrie Estate PN, I think 2002, that was pretty stellar.

I would like to try Cameron and Thomas as I hear good things about both.

Williams-Selyem ('90-'96).

Craig – This is my most memorable for some reason. Any chance you’ve got one more so I can confirm my vote?

  • 2004 Rhys Pinot Noir Home Vineyard - USA, California, San Francisco Bay (10/14/2007)
    Post Insignia Dinner at Siggy’s: I was done taking notes at this point. I don’t love mixing California Pinot Noir in with Burgundies, but Craig brought it so I gamely gave it a try – and found it to be surprisingly good. Very good. The nose gives an expressive and controlled blend of black fruit, earth/smoke and flower/lavendar. The taste is thick and jammy, but packed with black fruit and floral notes. Hard to recalibrate after all the Burgs. I would love to try this alone with a meal and see how good it really is.

Rochioli (East Block) from the mid 90’s.

36

As others have said, it’s pretty difficult to come up with just one . . .

I have had a few pinots really turn my heads -

Pisoni Estate
William Seylem
Sea Smoke
KB
Arcadian

Each has a special place for me, and it would be difficult to choose just one . . .

Cheers.

A lot of good choices here, but Thomas. Not into the over-the-top expressions, and he does a great job of melding Old and New World styles. Honorable mention to Arcadian.

38

Toss up between Arcadian and Scherrer but if I had to choose it would be Arcadian.

39

The best I’ve had in the last year was the 07 Hanzell. Or, it will be the best… in about two decades.
