We do seem to spend a lot of time looking for proper authentic Pinot Noirs at a reasonable price. It can be a forlorn venture, ploughing through an ocean of insipid, stewy and just plain weird Pinots, trying to find that diamond in the rough. We are trying to avoid the industrial, trick-laden winemaking that characterizes supermarket-bound wines at this price, so we taste away and keep hoping for a surprise.
 
This terrific Pinot Noir from the brothers Aaron and Jesse Inman in Sonoma grabbed our attention immediately. They have tried to produce an unpretentious wine that shows plenty of varietal character (bountiful red cherry, raspberry fruit and a pleasing velvety texture) at a price that makes sense to most of us…and they have emphatically succeeded.
 
The groovy packaging is a nod to the brothers’ upbringing around a gold mine, but for us the juice in the bottle tells a more important story; a Pinot Noir that will match well with all sorts of autumnal foods (including your Thanksgiving nosh-up, socially distanced or otherwise) and delivers that proper Pinot Noir experience, even before one considers the price.
