- They say Pinot Noir is the healthiest of all the red wines... Well, I'm not a doctor but this is a tasty wine at a very reasonable price. I enjoyed the plum and berry flavors with a hint of oak. A little sweet and crisp at the start and finishes with a little spice but is still smooth. Reminds me of Agent Blush!

- Our Castle Rock Pinot Noir is produced from grapes grown in Monterey County along the Central Coast of California, where the climate and soil quality provide excellent growing conditions for this Burgundian varietal. Here, the cooling air from Monterey Bay helps to produce a longer growing season for grapes, with extra grape-time on the vines leading to a characteristic depth of flavor in the wine. Our Pinot Noir is elegant and medium-bodied, offering aromas of cherry, tea and herbal spice. On the palate, the wine gives flavors of black cherry, plum and spice. It is smooth with a silky texture read more...and mild tannins. This versatile food wine pairs well with lamb, chicken, veal, salmon and light pasta dishes. (hide)
