Two 2007's

I had dinner with clients last night and they chosse the wine. Not wines I would have picked.

2007 King Estate Pinot Noir Signature Collection($54)-Medium bodied, decently ripe pinot fruit. A bit of cola and black cherry. Lacking a bit of acidity and a bit soft on the finish. C+/B-

2007 Sonoma Cutrer RRR ($48)-a bit tart, austere and acidic. Fairly light in style and lacking in fruit. Not much charm. "C-"

Usually I'm more than happy to defer wine duties to someone else even when I'm hosting but this wasn't one of them.

The Sonoma Cutrer used to be a much more interesting wine.

I remember whe it was a darn good wine. The Russian Rivers Ranches was the entry level wine but it was always a well priced bottle of decent Chardonnay. FWIW, the King Estates PN wasn't bad, just very average but it wasn't a very good QPR at $54.

King has stayed the same quality wise but the price has become astronomical for what it is. Again was a more reasonably priced wine in the past.

Dry.. But enjoyable.. So I would probably like the 2007 one too ... What do you think ?

I would guess that if you liked the 2001 that the 2007 has a similar profile. VIrtually all Pinot Noirs are dry.

That's the weirdest thing to say. If it was not dry, it most certainly would /not/ be enjoyable. It's a PN, for grape's sake, it should be dry!
