Carmel Road, Arroyo Seco (Monterey County, California) Pinot Noir Panorama Vineyard 2013

($35): A bigger and riper version of their delightful — and easy to recommend — straight Monterey Pinot Noir, Carmel Road’s Panorama Vineyard bottling focuses more on the sweet fruity aspect of the grape. In the process, they lose delicacy and complexity than Pinot Noir offers.  Those who prefer bolder Pinot Noir will embrace it.
