How about under $30?

For $16 the 2006 Willowbrook Sonoma County has been my everyday pinot over the last year or so.

Murdoch James (Marlborough, NZ) is fantastic at around $17-$18, but hard to find.

I know I have others in the ball park.  I'll add as they come to me.

I haven't tried all these, so I can't vouch for some of them.....I just keep a running QPR list of recs that I see.  Also not sure what price these are at in the US, but I believe they're all under $25.

Status: offline 		Take a look at my current inventory, I have over 25 cases of Oregon PN.  Be careful of the 07's, especially the lower end, some not so good.  I enjoy the Owen Roe Sharecropper and Brick House for lower end PN's right now.  Not buying anymore now, waiting for the 08's to showup in the fall.

Thanks for the tip!  I'll have to pick some more up.

Status: offline 		While I didn't fully score or taste this wine as I was leading a wine tasting for some "newbies" I did think this Pinot, for the price point, was pretty decent.  2007 Castle Rock Pinot Noir Willamette Valley  This is a Californina (Calistoga) bottled Pinot Noir using Willammette Valley grapes. 

My recollection was a very nice cherry and spice flavor profile, decent balance and a medium finish.

Nothing fantastic, but it's a pinot. And at around $12.50, it falls into your "under $15" category.

Road River Pinot Noir Russian River - it was only $9.99.  It's the "best" under $15 that I've tasted.  And I've grinded my way through quite a few in search...
