Pinot Noir is delicious but, more often than not, to get a good red wine made from Pinot you have to be prepared to spend. I do believe there are some values to be had. Join me in a blind tasting to see if we can find good Pinot Noir under $25.

Pinot Noir is both a loved grape and hated. More times than not I'm disappointed. I know how good it can be, but I've paid $100 plus for some that I've literally got so annoyed with I've poured down the sink. When it's great, it's great, but when it's average, it's bad. Why's that? Because average pinot noir is worse than average Cabernet or average [insert grape here].
Hey Matthew, I enjoyed this tasting! The way the video was edited made it a little confusing though. Love the energy, keep it up!
super interesting, this channel deserve to grow a lot more
Bargain Pinot Noir? Australia. Interesting Pinot? Germany, hands down!
2019 Kettemeier from Alto Adige at $20 and 2019 Browne Heritage from oregon at $15 are my go to or Nicolas Bazan from Oregon as well. Amazing age-worthy Pinot
Nice tasting. I thought you might throw in some abomination like Meiomi to spice things up a bit. haha. Keep up the good work.
Translate cool whip taste for non Americans 😂
The sad part is.. You are completely correct about the Burgundy. 😞 Because no matter the quality, these wine are always sold out. So even if You pay premium for a bottle (200+) chances are, You might be disappointed. Unfortunately, been there. ☹️
I love Kaufman's rheingau Pinot noir for sub 25$. I've had some decent loire Pinot noir and I've just bought a bottle of vignoble Guillaume's franche-comte igp wine which I'm looking forward to trying
Hi! Is the Sarnero easy to find in the US? I only found a site with a 25 euro price. Thanks for your great videos
In my opinion? No. But then again I've never watched your channel before. lol. Interesting content here. Just subscribe.
I love your videos! Especially your laugh after you reveal the bottle 😄
Hi Matthew, I'm one of your follower since a long time now and you are the one that I prefere from all wine youtuber. In one of your last video you said that you would like that your channel blow's up in therme of subscribers. Well I would like to help you. It still blew my mind when I see Konstantin Baum – Master of Wine which is a awesome youtuber but he is around only since 2 years when you are here since many years now but he got 10 times more followers. He deserve it nonetheless you too. So my advice for you would be to have a background that match the quality of your contain. Well it is not a big deal, but It could be appealing to see you in a nice background like Konstantin. I do like your basement by the way 😉
When you film inside the quality of the image is less then Konstantin. Outside there is no difference but inside I think there is not enough light (I'm my own and humble opinion). I'm not in the filming industry so maybe I don't know what I'm talking about but maybe it would be great for you to seek for advice from professionels. I tell you that because I care for you and I would like that your channel blow's up. I wish you the best.

P.-S. You are a true gentleman to answer all of your comments

As a South American, the best Pinot Noir we get here are Patagonia/San Rafael in Argentina, Campanha Gaúcha/São Joaquim in Brazil and the best ones by far in Casablanca/Limari in Chile. Many great ones for 30 dollars and under. Oregon and New Zealand are not wildly available here. Burgundy is super expensive. As a rule, big producers Bourgogne rouge and less famous regions like Macon, Rully/Mercury are a best bet. Buying Premier cru, Givrey Chambertin, Musigny, Vougeot, Pommard can cost you 100 + dollars for a mediocre experience.
Love the new structure with the bags. And please always keep it real. Once people have the feeling you are cheating the fun is over. Keep up the good work and enjoy you day!
My get the go place was Hemel en Aarde valley South Africa for Pinot, but they got expensive as well. Now I often buy from Ahr producers. They can use some extra support..
I’ve had more bad Pinot Noir than good, it’s obviously a tough one to craft. Your tasting here proves my own theory wrong, I thought anything under $30 was not worth buying. Enjoyed this!
Nice Video Matt, how long did this take you to put together?
Best value for money: Germany (Spaetburgunder called there). No joke…
You should try some Ontario pinot noirs. Cool climate. grown on limestone or dolomite slopes and are very Burgundian. Producers to try are Tawse (they have connections to Marchand in Burgundy), Hidden Bench and Flat Rock. Many of them will fit nicely in your $25 US price point. As an aside.I have only had one opportunity to try a DRC wine. Unfortunately it suffered from cork taint.
Pinot Project says YEAHHHHHHH
I liked Arabella and Michael Pozzan , both are $20 and Oregon and good enough 😇👍🏻
I used to like the supermarket Mark West pinot at $10. Tried it again recently and couldn’t drink it 😂😂😂 Super fake oak and jam
NO…
For good quality affordable Pinot Noir, I like South Africa. And Pinot Noir’s wonderful offspring: Pinotage!!
I don't know what it sells for in the USA…but you need to take a look at Louis Chenu Père et Filles Savigny Vielles Vignes…I know it's sold in the USA and they are a fabulous Vurgundy producer making affordable wines.
The greatest value in Pinot Noir is using it as mulch for your Zinfandel vine!
Love this format along with your travel videos the best. Great stuff!
Pinot is phenomenal when it’s done right some of my favorites, Paul Hobbs, Russian river valley,Lange Estate Dundee hills Domaine de la cote have some of my favorites.
Thank you for your thoughts here. I have tried to find a nice cheap pinot noir and have tried louis jadot and la crema but it's just been boring in comparison to other varietals. 🙁
Germany especially Rings Spätburgunder 2020 or Jülg Spätburgunder. German Pinot Noir revolution ✊
I was really surprised how good the Line 39 2019 Cabernet that I tried was though for the price, I found it had a fair bit of layered depth. I haven't tried anything else they have, so I guess I won't bother with the Pinot Noir.
Germany is establishing itself quickly as an new Pinot powerhouse . Old world charm & quality and much easier on the wallet!
My go to choice for excellent Rieslings and now probably my first choice for Blauburgunder aswell. Just step a bit outside of the "burgundy" box…
My favorite, over the last year, value Pinot has been the Stoller for ~$20. Will need to give some of these a try now
Merci !
The question should be “Can you get 100% Pinot Noir for cheep”.
I have liked Alto Adige Pino Nero, but honestly don't have much experience with the grape exactly because of what you mentioned. It tends to be pricey and requires a lot of research. When you find a good one though, it's absolutely beautiful
My wife and I found Belle Glos (from each of their 5 vineyards) for $29.99 and fell in love with Pinot Noir!!! Just wish we would have purchased more than 10 bottles at that price. We did a tasting with friends one night and truly enjoyed them all!!! 🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷
