Sosie Pinot Noir Spring Hill Vineyard Sonoma Coast 2015 ($43)

From the Petaluma district, this blend of three Pinot Noir clones is loaded with rich aromas and flavors of strawberry and raspberry.  There’s an Old World touch of warm earth and nicely balanced acidity throughout.  WW 89-90

Siduri Pinot Noir Willamette Valley 2017 ($30)

In case you’re wondering, Siduri in literature is the bartender of the underworld.  But winemaker Adam Lee’s Pinot Noirs are always otherworldly.  The Oregon soils and climate give the wine aromas of cranberry and plum rather than strawberry.  The acidity is bright, with a medium mouthfeel and very soft tannins.  WW 91

Azendia Agricola Binomio Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Riserva 2015 ($52)

This relatively recent brand (1998) has made its mark with a rustic, earthy style, ripe tannins and intense blackberry and strawberry aromas and flavors.  A serious wine, capable of aging.  WW 92
