Rainstorm Rainstorm $15.00

Cool climate Willamette fruit blended with warm dry Umpqua fruit gives this Pinot the best of both worlds at a good price! Full ripe juicy flavor but with nice subtlety and nuance. Extremely easy drinking and the perfect partner to grilled salmon or pork loin. Herbs de Provence really bring out the character of this wine.


Farm to Table Farm to Table $15.00

A fun and lighter style from the cool mountains of Victoria. Aromas of fresh strawberry, cherry jam flirt with notes of forest floor a touch of peppery oak. Lively cola and raspberry flavors with vibrant acidity. Darn good value too!


Daniel Boccard Bugey Daniel Boccard Bugey $15.00

Historically thought of as part of Burgundy, Bugey is a designation that sits along the Rhone river between Lyon and Geneva. This Pinot Noir rose has a delicate nose of strawberries with vibrant acidity and minerality, making this a great summertime wine.


Antucura Cherie Antucura Cherie $16.00

A fascinating find for us here at Bitto! From high altitude vineyards in Argentina we found this sparkling Pinot Noir. Red fruits and earthy forest floor on the nose. Refreshing acidity, bubbly mousse on the palate with nuances of fruit and herbs. One to geek out over with your fellow nerds!


Willm Cremant d'Alsace Rose Willm Cremant d'Alsace Rose $18.00

We love Pinot Noir based bubbles, and to find one under $20 is all the better. A bit crisper than the Lucien Albrecht with gorgeous light and crisp raspberry and strawberry flavors. Classic baked brioche nose. Why spend 4 times as much on Champagne when Alsace does it like this!


Totara Totara $18.00

Vividly ruby in the glass, a shining example of pinot noir coming out of New Zealand. Tart cherry, raspberry, cranberry, savory herbs, spice and earth, all with mouth watering acidity. Pairs excellent with roasted poultry and a Sunday afternoon.

Barrique Pinot Noir Barrique Pinot Noir $19.00

Bermatinger Bermatinger $19.00

Do you love Burgundy, but not the price tag attached to it? This spatburgunder from Baden gives you a stellar example of what pinot can be outside of France. Red fruits and floral notes accompanied by that earthy, forest floor, mushroom that Burgundy is known for. Beautifully balanced, definitely one that should have a place at your table.


Schug Pinot Noir Schug Pinot Noir $22.00

This wine easily over delivers in terms of flavor and quality for the dollar. Vibrant Bing Cherry aromas around a subtle, lightweight and elegant body and flavor. A lovely restrained weight with Burgundian acidity. Oak is in perfectly in tune and plays a supporting role without dominating and masking the fruit.


J. Wilkes Santa Maria Pinot Noir J. Wilkes Santa Maria Pinot Noir $24.00

From the cool Central Coast bringing ripe red raspberry and strawberry, tart cherry pie, white pepper, and clove with a lovely, earthy complexity. Great now but even a couple years should show increasing depth. A prime example of Santa Maria's potential and one of our favorite CA Pinots.

Yep, a Pinot Noir ice wine! Gorgeous bright apple and bing cherry flavors, decadent but with crisp acidity. A rare treat!

This is a lovely little red from a single vineyard situated near Beaune which captures the essence of this area. The wine features the high spice tones that are a classic feature of this section of the Cote de Beaune. Light, slightly nervy, with an exuberance that makes this a fine companion to any of our creamy cheeses or tangy goats milk cheeses.


N.S. Della Neve N.S. Della Neve $30.00

What?? Two of the best red grapes for sparkling finally put together in a 50/50 blend from Barolo of all places. Smoky cherry nose, lean strawberry and some stone character. Completely farmed by hand on steep slopes, this crisp and clean bubbly is a favorite, when we can get it that is!


Cristom Mt. Jefferson Pinot Noir Cristom Mt. Jefferson Pinot Noir $34.00

Light ruby color. The Mt Jefferson Cuvee displays crushed raspberry, strawberry and red currant aromas. There are higher tones of tomato leaf and cola berry along with some brambly notes. It follows through on the palate with a core of ripe red fruits and notes of spicy complexity (cinnamon, allspice). Lower octave flavors of truffle and forest floor are forming as the wine rounds out in the finish.


Hippolyte Reverdy Hippolyte Reverdy $34.00

Sancerre is well known for its production of Sauvignon Blanc. This small production of Sancerre Rouge focuses on Pinot Noir following the Burgundy model. Meaning you can get a high quality Burgundy style Pinot without the Burgundy price. Gorgeous cherries and ripe strawberries, subtle earthy tones, great acid and lengthy finish.


Whitcraft Winery Whitcraft Winery $35.00

Alongside the vineyards of Master Somm Raj Parr in Santa Barbara lies this producer. Whitcrafts pinot noir shows delicate rose petals, bright cherry, raspberry and cranberry and beautiful acidity. Vinified in stainless and spends time in neutral oak. A gorgeous California Pinot.

Volnay is between Pommard and Meursault and often produces the best reds of the Cote de Beaune. Structured and silky, with elegance and plenty of delicious Pinot Noir fruit, black cherries, soft forest leaves, a wisp of tannic structure and lively acid. Don't touch this unless you're prepared to have your heart and palate stolen. How this is the same grape as Meomi I'll never know...
