2016 California Pinot Noir All-Americans

The majority of the California All-Americans came from the Sonoma Coast AVA. Expect to pay at least $70 for many wines and upwards of $125 for a few wines in this category. It is an absolute truth that there is no such thing as extraordinary cheap Pinot Noir. That said, price is no guarantee of quality.
