Acacia Red Blend

Pretty darn good. Worth getting again.

Angeline

I tried their Cab and their Pinot. Both decent, but Cab was better.

Daglia Canyon Cab 2006

Daglia Canyon 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley
I think I need a new rating scale.
0 - don't drink, even if you don't buy it. Don't bother.
1 - drink it, as long as you don't pay for it. Drinkable.
3 - drink it, but don't go out of your way. Worth having again.
4 - Gotta find some, it is good. A favorite.

I give this a 3. I would have another bottle. A little chewy, a little dry.

Another Oregon Pinot

This one, like more Oregon Pinots, is just under $20, not $10. OFV, which stands for Olsen Family Vineyards. It is a 2007, and I am starting to wonder if that is a bad year for Oregon Pinots. The Knights Ridge I tried before was a 2007. Again, a little too tart and not much to it.

Oregon Pinots

I have really enjoyed Oregon Pinot Noirs lately. A to Z and Bridgeview are great. So I tried one called Belle Vallee Whole Cluster. It is $18 at Total Wine. The bottle I first bought turned out to be bad because the seal and screwtop were not right. Luckily Total Wine has a great return policy, so I got a new bottle. Had the new bottle tonight, and was not impressed. Very young, tart, nothing to it. Pass on this one.

Knights Ridge Pinot Noir

2006 Knights Ridge Pinot Noir - Oregon

Knights Ridge is a fictional Massachusetts town in Beautiful Girls and October Road, but here it is an Oregon Pinot Noir. Not as good as a few others I have had lately from Oregon. I would pass on this one that I found at Trader Joes and go with A to Z or one I had at Ruth's Chris St. Louis that I can't remember right now.

Bad Pinot Noir

Masion Nicolas Reserve 2006 Pinot Noir

Very bitter. Seems young I guess. Avoid.

Much better Pinots out there.
