I’ve had Sinor-Lavallee wines (San Luis Obispo) and pretty sure they make an entry level Pinot that’s about this price range, maybe a tick higher. Really earthy and good fruit.

Schug from Sonoma Coast is very good at $22. Recently tried the 2022. Good color and bouquet, tastes of licorice and dark fruit. James Suckling and Wine Enthusiast score it 91+. My only worry was about it keeping because it is a screw top. After opening I kept it in my refrigerator. On day 3 and 5, I poured a glass and let it rest and open up at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before drinking. It really held up and was very enjoyable showing that it is a well-made wine.

Thanks for all of the notes Bruce, I am going to keep an eye out for the Schug Pinot Noir as it sounds like a winner.

If you haven't tried them, I highly recommend Willamette Valley Whole Cluster and Samuel Robert.

Thanks for the suggestions. Will keep these in mind when shopping for Pinot Noir.

Stopped liking Meomi some time ago, but people seem to like it! Glad you agree!

[@DrinkinItIn]

Good to know we are aligned. People love wines with some sweetness so it makes sense that it is popular. I can't stand it because it tastes so fake.

[@tarheelnuto]

I gave up on Meiomi years ago! Way too much sugar.

[@user-eb6vf6be8z]

Fake wine is a great description of Meomi Pino. One of the most off putting wines I’ve ever tried. Thin yet weirdly sweet almost artificial tasting.

[@DrinkinItIn]

Thanks for the note, appreciate that you agree with the assessment. Definitely artificial.

I happen to agree with your palate ie Josh wines. Fine wines ? I doubt that very much ... maybe more like table wines - no offence to the self proclaimed "schooled" wine experts. I have enjoyed La Crema, very nice and looking forward to trying the Erath Pinot Noir in my cellar soon. I appreciate your reviews and sharing your experience, thank you!

[@DrinkinItIn]

Thanks for all of the thoughts. My experience with every Josh wine so far has been really bad - I hope I don't have any more. Let me know how the Erath tasting goes.

[@maryverzella9841]

2021 Erath Pinot Noir, fruit forward, cherry, raspberry, hint of licorice, some light earthy notes, medium body and tannins, medium alcohol, nice finish. Will buy again! @@DrinkinItIn

Meiomi tastes like oak flavored cough medicine. So bad! And up here in Canada it's $31 a bottle.

[@DrinkinItIn]

Its very pricey for what it is but the branding seems to work. Am glad I am not the only one who cant stand it.

[@richardrozanski6645]

Adding Josh vineyards to your undesirables was a grave mistake in understanding fine wine. Go back to school.

[@DrinkinItIn]

You might be right. Will keep that in mind for future videos.
