We showcase three exceptional California wines in the debut segment to underscore what legions of Pinot Noir connoisseurs already know too well. Great Pinot Noir wines share a number of broad attributes (structural balance foremost among them), yet there are wonderful distinctions that come through. With a tasting trio of Pinots, we examine the virtues of the California wine regions: Russian River Valley (Sonoma County), the Santa Rita Hills (Santa Barbara County) and the Santa Lucia Highlands (Monterey County).
