Pinot Report is a James Beard Award winning publication that is focused on Pinot Noirs from the Western US(California and Oregon). Also he was formerly the President of Wine Spectator Magazine. We hold Greg's opinions in high regard as he lives within the world of Pinot and tastes such a variety every year. Here are his reviews of a couple of our 2009 Pinot Noirs:

2009 ON POINT, CHRISTINNA'S CUVEE PINOT NOIR- 92 POINTS- Medium ruby color; spicy strawberry and cherry aromas; rich, strawberry and cherry flavors with spicy, cinnamon notes; silky texture; good structure and balance; long finish. Spicy, easy drinking Pinot with bright flavors.

2009 FULCRUM, GAP'S CROWN VINEYARD, SONOMA COAST PINOT NOIR- 93 POINTS- Deep ruby color; complex plum and cranberry aromas with forest floor notes; complex, rich plum and cherry flavors with earthy, herbal notes; some tannin and sweet oak; good structure and balance; long finish. Complex, deep Pinot with a lot of interesting layers just waiting for some air time to open them up!
