Just discovered a great Pinot Noir, at a great price ($9.99). Its the Indigo Hills, 2003 California Pinot Noir. Its a very delicate Pinot, with a nice taste of fruit without being sweet. So far, one of the best Pinots under $12 I've found. Hope you can find it in your area as well. I'm out to buy a few more...

They included a few Pinot Noirs on the list HRM Rex Goliath and Parducci. Have you dried either of these and, if so, how does Indigo Hills compare?
I've had HRM Rex Goliath Pinot Noir - its actually quite good. Here's a podcast about it from the author of the above SF Chronicle article:
