This product of the Russian River Valley was surprising for the price. Nice nose of red fruit on a spice floor, opening to raspberries and strawberries on the palate with a touch of red currants, good finish of red fruits and a lip-smacking bitter candy. 13.5% alc/vol and about $13.50 per. As good a PN at that price point that I've found. With grilled chicken, gumbo and yellow squash. The wine and the gumbo both ran out much too soon.

Nice, this is a bottle I always look at and never buy. I'll grab one next time I am "shopping" I think we have it $11 locally.

This has been a standard for me, but I think I paid more locally (also have had it at restaurants in New York City and Raleigh). I took a bottle (earlier vintage) to a tasting of Pinots Around the World and one participant thought it had too much wood treatment but I fail to see that (different palates I guess).

Runs closer to $18 around here, though I haven't tried one since the 2000. Will give it a try.

Had another tonight with Italian take-out of "lemon pepper salmom" and veggies (carrots, broccoli, artichokes, etc.), all drizzled in OO. Good eats. And the vino was right on, with no trace of heavy oak treatment. I like this stuff. Case buy, maybe two.

Does anyone know where to find the Bearboat 2002 Pinot Noir?
- hotwine - 11-01-2005
Welcome to the board. Haven't seen the '02; the '03 was purchased at Costco.
