Hi, still learning. Wanted a French Pinot. Did the Total Wine thing, spent $25. Ive had a handful of Pinot, mostly Oregon and one French that was a bit cheaper.

This was bad. Is pinot suppose to have dusty tannins? I absolutely loathe that sensation and I love astringent dry reds. Not elegant, structure was so odd and out of balance. Just gross.

I thought Id do better than this it being a Burgandy. Any thoughts guys? Sell me on old world Pinot under $25 please
