Carmel Road’s inexpensive "Monterey" line of Pinot Noir from the 2015 vintage is yet another example of a large winery taking advantage of its vast vineyard resources to produce a solid bottle of Pinot that most can afford. This wine shows pretty notes of black cherry and spice, with moderate tannins. It’s easy to drink and even easier on the wallet.
