($19): It’s hard to find drinkable Pinot Noir under $20 a bottle, which is why it was such a pleasant surprise to run across Erath’s.  Drawn from grapes grown all over Oregon, this mid-weight wine emphasizes delicate red fruit nuances.  Hints of spice add complexity and prevent it from seeming like a boring, one-trick-pony of a wine.  This Pinot Noir will work equally well for those who sip red wine as an aperitif as for those who are looking for a match for grilled salmon.
