I'm firmly in the camp that Pinot Noir shouldn't taste like Syrah, so if you like Sea Smoke, etc - this isn't a wine for you. However, last week, I opened a 2006 McKinlay Willamette Valley Pinot Noir and it was truly delicious. light in color - in fact lighter than the Sine Qua Non "Rose"s - and 12.5% alcohol listed on the label. Light, crisp and clean with Pinot Noir character - and only $16! I see K and L has it - I got mine from Storyteller Wine in Portland.
This is a perfect summer wine, and it's even CHEAPER than the Tempier Rose (another perfect summer wine)!
