You will be hard pressed to find a $13.00 Pinot Noir with a good quality-to-value ratio from any producer. Therefore, I was pleasantly surprised with this wallet-friendly 2014 Nieto Senetiner Pinot Noir, whose grapes come from the higher-altitude Neuquén vineyard in the Tupungato area of Mendoza. The wine is aged six months in French oak. It is medium garnet and clear, with a medium-weight mouthfeel, soft tannins, and good acidity. Floral and fruity aromas lead to smoky vanilla, bitter cranberry, and cherry on the palate. Enjoy this with poultry, pork, and mushroom holiday dishes. (sample)
