Any other decent Pinots available for under $15?

Have to agree with the latest Oregon Pinot comments from ddf68--all good choices. Here are some others from OR based on a blind tasting of over 100 Oregon pinots from 1998 for my magazine (including such rarified stuff as Archery Summit Estate at $100). Elk Cove's 1998 Willamette Valley at $17 was a real big winner and for me, far and away the best price/quality wine of the vintage! Others I highly recommend include Broadley Vineyards Willamette Valley at $15, Amity Vineyards Dauenhower Vineyard at $15, Starr Willamette Valley at $15, Bridgeview Vineyards Blue Moon at $16, The Academy Oreogn at $19, and High Pass Willamette valley at $17. There are others at the $12-18 price point not mentioned by me or ddf68, but I wouldn't recommend them! Also, keep a look out for the Wilamette Valley and Oregon blends in the 1999 vintage: more quality than '98, and overall better balanced and more aromatic than the odd '98 vintage.
