Are there actually any good Pinot Noir's in the $12 range?!
That actually have decent varietal characteristics and some depth? Or should I just go with a Cabernet? If so what type?
Answers:
Actually, I quite like Pinot Evil--and not just because of the monkeys on the label. It's not full-bodied, but it has a pretty cherry finishing flavor. World Market carries it for about $7, but I think you can also get it in most major grocery stores as well.
