Three California Pinot Noirs

[wondersofwine]

At the Pinehurst Wine Festival over Labor Day weekend (the rest of my notes are under Wine Events and Festivals)I tried three Pinot Noir wines from the Carneros District. I had been eager to try the Saintsbury since I had heard favorable things about them and the Saintsbury Pinot Noir from Carneros was a nice wine. The next tasting table was ZD Pinot Noir also from Carneros and tasting it right after the Saintsbury my preference was for the ZD entry. In fact I voted for the ZD Pinot Noir as my favorite red of the festival (I'm more into Pinot Noir and Burgundies than Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux). A night or two later I tried the Carneros Creek Pinot Noir but still found ZD to be my favorite. Now I'm eager to try some of the Oregon PNs to compare. Anyone else have an opinion on the ZD PNs?
