I like that Pinot Noir has lower sugar than Cabernet. I’ve liked the upper end Russian River Pinot. A lot of Pinot though tastes young to me. I prefer a deeper, less fruity wine. More earthy and velvety.

Sooo what would you in the know recommend for me in the $20-$40 per bottle range? Pinot Noir. Is that even possible? TYIA.

I am a Pinot slut. Some of my current favorites with Total Wine links:

ETA I can’t read. SR Hills are more on the lighter side, last 3 might be more what you are looking for.

Presqu’ile from Santa Maria California. I’m not much of a Pinot drinker but theirs is very good.

Goldeneye is the correct answer. It's just a little higher at $48-50 but worth it.

I don't drink much wine so take this with a grain of salt. I do like Pinor Noir an one of the best I've found and several of the women wine drinkers we were with all also loved it is Dark Horse! I don't about the sugar aspect, but the taste was a little more velvety & earthy and was only about $11

Occasionally you can find one of the Belle Glos Pinots for $40
If you want earthy , try a burgundy .

I don’t like the dark, heavy pinot noirs, therefore my favorites are the good French Burgundies which you can find at the upper end of your price range. At the lower end, I would look for something from the Willamatte Valley.

If you can find Frank Family pinot for under $40, buy it. I haven't looked recently but it may be close to or just over that.

A couple random Pinots I’ve had recently that I’ve enjoyed. Both are around $35

Enderle & Moll 'Liaison' - Germany
Chacra 'Barda' Pinot Noir - Argentina (Patagonia)

get away from the domestic Pinots, turn to France or even New Zealand. Grab a few from different regions, taste the nuances of the terroirs. Burgundy, Alsace, Loire. Youll wonder why ya ever drank a US pinot
