    This is light bodied and crisp, its bright cherry fruit accented by leafy, slightly green notes. Clean and vibrant, it's the sort of Pinot that should work well with salmon.

    For less than $20, this delivers plenty of Pinot Noir character. Cherry, cranberry and beet root aromas and flavors pick up a hint of cola on the crisp finish of this silky-textured, medium-weight wine. Drink it over the rest of 2017.

    Charming, pretty and accessible, this is what many inexpensive New Zealand Pinots aspire to be. Mushroomy, earthy notes add depth to straightforward aromas and flavors of cherry and vanilla, all framed by supple tannins and a mouthwatering finish. Drink now–2017.
