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.

Great buy at $12.99! Elegant, full-bodied with cherry and berry flavors competing with cola, spice and a touch of oaky smoke. Long finish.

Our Castle Rock Pinot Noir is produced from grapes grown in SonomaCounty, which is recognized as one of the finest Pinot Noir growing regions inCalifornia. Here, the marine influences from the Pacific Ocean providecooling breezes which give ideal conditions for Pinot Noir grapes,characterized by rich crisp fruit flavors. This elegant well-balanced wine offersaromas of red fruit and spice. On the palate, there are flavors of plum andcherry with oak nuances, and the finish is long and harmonious.
