"May be the single finest value in American Pinot Noir" - Wine Advocate

I just received an email from K&L titled "May be the single finest value in American Pinot Noir" - Wine Advocate. How on earth am I supposed to be able to not at least try a bottle of this stuff, especially at $19.99? I think the best strategy is to not receive the email.

I'll let you know.


92 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2009 Pinot Noir bursts from the glass with expressive red fruit, flowers, spices and mint. It shows lovely mid-palate juiciness and an elegant, polished finish. At $24 a bottle, it may very well be the single finest value in American Pinot Noir. I was hardly surprised to learn Emirates chose to serve this wine in their business class cabin last year. This is a dazzling wine from start to finish. It is also one of the two 2008 Pinots made from fully destemmed fruit. Wow! Anticipated maturity: 2011-2016." (08/11)

Buyer's Remorse

On a reread I'm not certain I originally saw the word value. I believe I read "May be the single finest American Pinot Noir" when I ordered it. Just a slight difference.
