Argyle Reserve Pinot Noir 2006
When I tasted this at Argyle, I bought it as my choice for their best, most affordable Pinot. When I opened that bottle with company, without preface, every one volunteered some comment about how good it was. One non-drinker had a second glass.

McKinlay Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2008
You've probably never heard of McKinlay before, but this tiny production estate winery has one of the most hands-off Pinot programs in America. The Pinot Noirs that they produce are probably the most accurate portrayals of their vintage and terroir in the US. 2008 happened to be spectacular.
