I tend to have low expectations of Pinot Noir under $20, so when I tried the 2007 Chalone Vineyard, Monterey County, Pinot Noir, I was pleasantly surprised! It came from Costco, and while I don't remember the exact price, on-line it ranges from $12-19. It is velvety, smooth, and elegant with cherries and other bright fruit. Exactly what I want from a Pinot without the acidic taste that I typically find in inexpensive Pinots, and it had unexpected depth. If I can find it at Costco again, I will definitely be buying more!
