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.

They make a nice Pinot Gris too.

Roserock (one of my faves, absolute killer for the price)
Resonance (was on Wine Spectator’s top 10)
Cristom Mt Jefferson
Domaine Drouhin

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.

J Winery is one of my favorites.

You can get really good Willamette Valley, Oregon Pinot Noirs at a great price point.

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 .

Belle Glos I think got bought out by one of the big boys years back, and their entry level wine is a sugar filled crap bomb.

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.
