We are pleased to present this curated list of Pinot Noirs from Oregon, California and Burgundy. These were each specifically chosen for their quality and value, with the majority priced at under $50 per bottle. Pinot Noir is our go-to for the autumn season because it pairs so well with the cozy dishes and harvest produce that we see in the Fall. It’s time for hearty stews, roasted vegetables and a delicious glass of Pinot!
Brian and Jill O’Donnell’s Belle Pente estate has come to be known as one of the most reliable Blue Chip producers in the state of Oregon. These select wines are Burgundian in style and offer exceptional value!
95 Points, Vinous Media: Deep, bright-rimmed red. A highly complex bouquet evokes red berry preserve and cherry aromas, along with sexy Asian spice, rose oil and smoky mineral accents.

The promise of a place where the succulent Pinot Noir grape could achieve its fullest expression brought Paul and Eileen Gerrie, owners of Cristom Vineyards, to Oregon. Their wines evolve as they age, revealing ever greater richness and complexity with time. Since the inaugural vintage in 1992, the Gerries, along with winemaker Steve Doerner, have been producing wines that are considered the benchmark in Oregon and have made Cristom, named after their children, Christine and Tom, a veritable household name.Â
“Alluring aromas of muddled raspberry, nutmeg, coriander seed, and rose petals carry over to the palate with rich, concentrated fruit and floral nuances. Powerful yet elegant tannins and bright acidity provide balance and structure.” – The Winery
“Complex aromas and flavors of sarsaparilla, rose petals, ripe strawberry, sandalwood, and earth. Balanced acidity, savory, umami characters, and supple tannins lead to a seamless finish.” – The Winery
“Structured and vibrant with dense, fine tannins and aromas and flavors of dried blueberries, sweet blackberries, herbaceous notes of lupine and tobacco, black olive, and cocoa.” – The Winery
Anthill Farms works with small plots of Pinot Noir throughout Sonoma and Mendocino, making wines indicative of their vineyard sites and of the vintage, whilst using minimal intervention tactics and practicing biodynamic farming. Gentle handling from crushing to bottling, judicious use of oak and perhaps most importantly, leaving the wine alone as much as possible, are paramount in producing these elegant expressions of Northern California Pinot Noir.
92 Points, Wine Advocate:Â The 2021 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast is wonderfully crunchy and fresh. It offers aromas of cranberry, raspberry and blueberry, plus undertones of garrigue and conifer leaves. The medium-bodied palate features concentrated, wild berry fruit, velvety tannins and energetic acidity. Drink: 2024 – 2034. – Erin Brooks, September 2023
93 Points, Wine Advocate:Â The 2021 Pinot Noir Hawk Hill Vineyard, matured in around 20% new oak, has alluring scents of blueberry and cranberry sauce and opens with time in the glass to accents of Earl Grey tea leaves, mushrooms and juniper. Softly chalky and mouthwatering, the palate offers vibrant layers of perfumed fruit, and its juicy yet detailed expression compels you to take another sip. Only 250 cases were made. Drink: 2024 – 2034. – Erin Brooks, September 2023
95 Points, Wine Advocate: The 2021 Pinot Noir Campbell Ranch opens with deep tones of pomegranate and rhubarb before releasing notes of fir leaves, garrigue and earth. The light-bodied palate is velvety and seamlessly fresh, with a weightless yet powerfully perfumed core of fruit and a long, floral finish. It really opens up with time in the glass, so give it 2 to 3+ years in bottle or a couple hours in the decanter. Drink: 2025 – 2035. – Erin Brooks, September 2023

Domaine Coillot was established in the village of Marsannay in the 1960s by Bernard Coillot, father of current owner Christophe Coillot. The estate is 11 hectares spread out over 12 different appellations. The vines range from 20-65 years of age, with yields that never exceed 32-40 hectoliters per hectare. Christophe’s philosophy is to make terroir-driven wines as naturally as possible, with the least amount of intervention in the vineyard. As prices continue to rise to astronomic levels in Burgundy, and quantities become ever so scarce, we are pleased to offer a delicious red Burgundy from a beautiful under-the-radar appellation – Marsannay.Â
The wine offers delightful notes of succulent berries such as ripe red cherry and blackcurrant, accompanied by a touch of enticing spice. The wine is rich and full with sublime, fruity tannins that envelop your palate. The journey concludes with a luxurious, lingering finish that is velvety smooth.
On the nose, the wine offers dark-red fruit and notes of violet petal. The palate is fresh and pure with a minerality that is complemented by a lovely fruitiness. This is a beautiful red Burgundy that hits the mark for under $50 per bottle.
This wine has high concentration, silky tannins, and a velvety texture on the palate. Its blue fruit and black cherry notes are enhanced by a beautiful freshness. The finish is very long with great fruit and minerality.
