title: Saintsbury 2008 Garnet Pinot Noir (Carneros)
description: Saintsbury's Garnet bottling established the tradition in California of a lighter-style, but no less elegant, Pinot Noir that retails at a decent price. The '08 doesn't disappoint. It's silky and crisp, with ripe flavors of cherries, raspberries, cola and sandalwood. Now–2011.
