More Gold From SF Chronicle

Death, taxes, and gold from the largest wine competition in North America. The 2016 BIN 6410 Pinot Noir continues to impress but get it while it lasts.

Gold doesn't always mean expensive when it comes to Pinot Noir. Loads of dark, juicy fruits, tinged with toasty, spicy oak, this Pinot over-delivers for the price. Gold from the largest wine competition in North America.

The winery is better known for Pinot Noir, but now turns to Chardonnay, with good results. The little-known appellation is in the middle of the warm-cool Sonoma spectrum, and the wine shows ripe orange, pear and pineapple flavors, brightened with crisp acidity.  — S.H.
