    Drew 2009 McDougall Ranch Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)

    Seems rushed to market too quickly at barely more than a year of age. There may be something good inside yearning to come out, but now, it's all impatient berry jam, fresh acidity and oak, almost like a barrel sample. Should develop into a more nuanced Pinot by 2012.
