The rise in quality of inexpensive California Pinot Noir is nothing less than stunning. This 2013 MacMurray from California’s Central Coast is a solid example, showing pretty cherry and strawberry notes with supple tannins and a long, floral finish. If you’re lining up a Thanksgiving feast and want a tasty Pinot to serve with the bird, but don’t want to break your budget, this could be the ticket.
