The 2019 Pinot Noir should find plenty of fans at its under-$20 price point. It's rather simple and fruity up front, with scents of cola, cherries and raspberries, while the medium-bodied palate is supple. The finish adds traces of green herbs and gentle astringency. You can do a lot worse than this modest charmer when looking for a value-priced Pinot Noir.
