Sineann Pinor noir "Oregon" 09 375ml

Review:

For less than $30, you can drink a Pinot that tastes as if it cost much more. Rich and round, the 2009 is an intense beauty with a strong cool-climate Oregon character.

If you're a serious Pinot Head, then you already know about Sineann, the small dedicated producer in Yamhill County, Ore. The single-vineyard bottlings are pricey -- and very, very good, but the plain Oregon bottling, made from a blend of grapes from some of those same highly regarded vineyards, is a rare bargain.
