What to Expect

California has long struggled with Pinot Noir. Finding the right vineyards for this most fickle of grape, one that enjoys a cool growing season yet needs warmth close to harvest to fully ripen, has proven a challenge in such a sunny state. Cooler areas eventually became identified; the Santa Rita Hills, Russian River Valley and Mendocino's Anderson valley are all prime spots for Pinot Noir in California. Unlike the lighter colored and sometimes delicate Pinots of Burgundy, California produces many rich, deep Pinots full of slightly chewy dark berry and cherry fruits with hints of cola, Asian spices and forest floor frequently adding complexity.

Very nice, flavorful wine, full of berries. Tastes like it costs......expensive but well worth it, if it is the right occasion.

The first sip made me think twice, but then after letting the wine breathe the flavors really opened up. The tannins seemed to mellow out and the fruit came forward with a clean mineral finish. A very good pinot that will not disappoint, but there might be better values out there if you're willing to dig and take a chance. If you are not willing to do this and need a winner you can rely on, Acacia is your Pinot!

A lovely ruby red in color, the 2005 Acacia Carneros Pinot Noir offers deep, fragrantaromas of violets, black cherries, toasty oak and earth. This wine is soft yet lively on thepalate, with rich flavors of Satsuma plum and minerals enhanced by a touch of oak. A well-balanced acidity accentuates the fine tannins which carry through to the long finish. Pair with richer pastas, wild mushroom risotto, grilled salmon and herb-crusted pork tenderloin.

Bright, cherry flavors and Carneros, a dollop of classic spiciness and velvet texture.

The fruit for the 2005 A by Acacia Pinot Noir was harvested at night and in the early morning to guard the aroma and flavors of the grapes. The grapes were received at the winery and were crushed and de-stemmed prior to fermentation. A combination of oak barrel toasting levels was used to create the classic Acacia style. This wine offers aromas of violets, spice and black cherry with hints of vanilla. The medium-bodied palate includes rich flavors of dark fruits - plum, black cherry. The mid-palate presents dark fruit flavors and fine tannins leading to a finish of dark fruit and spice with a hint of read more...
