Monterey County Pinot Noir has come of age in recent years, producing any number of brilliant, high-end Pinots that wine enthusiasts embrace. This isn’t one of those, but it is a Pinot that deserves your attention because it is beautifully balanced, shows cherry and spice notes, and it’s a blockbuster value at $15. A Platinum award-winner at the 2017 Critics Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
