It has become more and more rare to find a great Pinot Noir under $20, much less one from Carneros. We recently had the chance to taste with Rich Arnold, head winemaker at Robert Mondavi Winery and were incredibly impressed with the quality and price of the 2012 Robert Mondavi Carneros Pinot Noir.
2012 Robert Mondavi Carneros Pinot Noir...$14.99
Lowest price on Wine-Searcher is $18.09
Deliciously true to the variety and terroir the wine is lavishly perfumed and captivating in its elegance. A lovely cascade of aromas: sweet plums and juicy berries, infused with brown sugar, turned earth and warm, exotic spices translates gracefully to the palate. The rich flavors and plush texture are balanced by freshness and cool minerality. Lovely, silken texture with a long, berry and spice finish.
“...the tart cherry fruit and clay-like tannins of Carneros, but the brightness of the fruit breaks out of the structure, feeling light and effortless.
Rated 92/100 Wine and Spirits Magazine
