    Meridian 2004 Pinot Noir (Central Coast)

    I happened to taste this right after a Pinot that cost five times as much, and this one wasn't shamed. In fact, it stood up quite well. No, it didn't have the concentration, but the purity of fruit, crisp acids and silky texture make for a lovely Pinot Noir.
