Pinot Noir is a fussy grape. Too much sun and it bakes, shriveling berries before they’re ready to harvest. Not enough sun and fruit could not fully ripen, creating bitterness in the final product. Given the need for a perfect balance of cool temperatures for proper flavor development and just the right amount of sunshine for ripening, it is no surprise that California is an incredible place to grow Pinot Noir. Up and down the state there are perfect growing sites – Santa Barbara, Santa Maria, Monterey and San Luis Obispo, Sonoma County, and Mendocino all have their own special uniqueness that comes out in the fruit. This wine showcases the beauty of the California sunshine on the delicate grape. With flavors of bright red fruit, a nuttiness from oak influences, and a hint of minerality, we promise you that anyone who tastes this beautiful bottle will go back for another glass. Excellent to drink on its own or paired with your favorite lighter meat and seafood dishes.
