    The holy grail for many wine producers remains drinkable Pinot Noir for less than $20. This one lacks a bit of midpalate weight and richness, but does offer earthy notes of beet root and mushroom couched in an appropriately silky texture.

    Marked by crunchy, just-ripe cherry fruit and some slightly herbal shadings, this nonetheless offers solid value. Thyme and bay notes add nuance, as does the silkiness on the finish. Ready to drink.
