Antonio Galloni, formerly of The Wine Advocate

(He reviewed wines at The Wine Advocate for 7 years from 2006-2013.)
Antonio Galloni once considered the heir apparent to Robert Parker at The Wine Advocate, resigned his post when Mr. Parker sold a controlling stake of the franchise to outside investors. In order to maintain his independence and autonomy Antonio has started his own Multimedia Website, Vinous Media. We believe Mr. Galloni has one of the best palates in the industry and will continue to bring a wealth of knowledge and great reviews to the market place.  

2010 Ojai Vineyard Pinot Noir Bien Nacido...$37.99 
Santa Maria Valley, Central Coast, United States 
"A vivid, totally alive wine, the 2010 Pinot Noir Bien Nacido is absolutely impeccable. Dark cherries, plums, mint, cloves and new leather are some of the many notes that take shape in the glass. The 2010 stands out for its delineation, nuance and breathtaking finesse. Cool veins of minerality support the finish. Next to the Solomon Hills, the Bien Nacido Pinot is a little more savory and aromatically nuanced, while the fruit is less overt. It will be fascinating to compare the two wines as they age in bottle."
Rated 97/100 Antonio Galloni
