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.

This Pinot Noir has an approachable, fruit-forward style. We captured the vibrant red fruit, floral and spice character from Pinot Noir grapes grown in the cool, foggy foothills of Monterey County. The wine's silky layers of cherry, raspberry and red plum intertwine with fragrant allspice and floral accents. Aging in small, French oak barrels adds spicy, toasty nuances that continue through the lingering finish. This is a lighter style red wine, with supple balance and soft tannins. Food Pairing Accompany this wine with light meats, such as grilled fish, pork or chicken, and heartier beef or lamb.
