Seaside Cellars, New Zealand (New Zealand) Pinot Noir 2014

 Sourced from coastal vineyards in multiple regions, this wine offers excellent value.  At a time when most under $20 Pinot Noirs taste excessively sappy and sweet, it manages to be bone dry, with earthy undertones tempering its ripe fruit.  You’d expect Pinot of this quality to cost at least twice what it does.
