2010 Hahn Pinot Noir, Monterey ($10.99 at Safeway)
With a fairly transparent color, this wine weighs in at 14.5% alcohol and has just enough acidity to back up its fruit-forward identity. Expect aromas of cherries, raspberries and ripe strawberries. The texture is silky like satin sheets and the wine is inspiring. Before this epiphany, it seemed that inexpensive local and family owned Pinot did not exist. This winery has been making wine since 1980 and Paul Clifton, the current winemaker, surfs, which makes this product even cooler.
