Ya I agree, it's a really nice pinot. It has complexity in it flavours, it well made, drinks amazingly smooth with a caressing finish...what's not to like at $17 bucks. Wine Align critics really got this wrong.

Makes you wonder if they tasted the same wine. Bought a bottle from the actual release - - agree totally with Dave's review. 2009 was an outstanding vintage for Monterey PN's. For $16.95 a great buy if you like California PN's
