The hunt for delicious, value-priced Pinot Noir is a bit like the search for the Holy Grail. Good ones are few and far between, but here is one of those rare bottles that delivers far more than its price would suggest.
It's the McPherson Wine Company Pinot Noir, and once you taste it, I think you'll agree that it's a ton of classy Pinot for the money!
The McPherson family has been making wine in Victoria, Australia since 1968, building a reputation for producing wines that consistently overdeliver for the money. Their MWC Pinot Noir draws on fruit from a variety of vineyard sites throughout Victoria, resulting in a wine that captures everything I look for in affordable Pinot Noir.
Medium-bodied and silky, flowing with notes of red cherry, strawberry, and fresh herbs, this delivers tremendous varietal character along with a velvety texture and surprising complexity.
It's the sort of Pinot I could happily drink any night of the week, and at $17.99, it punches way above its weight.
