Lot 125

2013 Monterey Pinot Noir

The 90+ Cellars Lot 125 Pinot Noir from the 2013 vintage showcases an enchanting red hue that captures the essence of Monterey's unique terroir. This wine presents a medium body, striking a balance between elegance and richness, making it a delightful choice for various occasions. The acidity is bright and refreshing, contributing to a lively mouthfeel that invites you to take another sip. With fruit intensity that is pronounced, notes of cherry and raspberry dance on the palate, harmoniously complemented by subtle hints of earth and spice. The tannins are soft and well-integrated, providing structure without overwhelming the fruit. This Pinot Noir is notably dry, making it an excellent companion for food pairings and ensuring that it finishes smoothly.

Central Coast

California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
