($42, Ste. Michelle Wine Estates): Villa Maria has managed to capture both the sweet fruitiness and the savory aspect of Pinot Noir in this single vineyard bottling.  Paradoxically, even the savory elements have a purity about them.  The fine tannins provide needed backbone without being intrusive.  Bright acidity keeps it fresh throughout a meal, making it a good choice for a grilled tuna or salmon steak.
