Bought a case of this on James Laube's review and blog post:

REDTREE Pinot Noir California 2008
Score: 88
Release Price: $8
Designation: Best Values

Offers baked cherry pie, with rhubarb and blueberry, showing a wonderful fruit profile that's spicy, elegant and easy to drink. Great balance. Drink now. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 35,000 cases made."

At best I'd give it a 78. In addition three of the bottles had the fizz. I don't like soda pop made with pinot noir grapes.
