About This Wine


Color Wash

Pinot Noir

The first thing you’ll notice about Color Wash is that it doesn’t like to hide anything about the wine. Even from the label, minimal and only displaying flavor notes on the back, Color Wash presents the wines clearly for all the world to see. The only thing that they care about is the great taste of a well- made wine. That’s why Color Wash has won so many awards. The Color Wash Pinot Noir follows in this tradition with an elegant take on the style. This wine is well balanced and fruity with ripe notes of strawberry and cherry that are offset by a touch of sage, honey, and earth. It’s a perfect pairing for meals but is just as delicious on its own. It recently took home some amazing awards from the 2019 Critic's Challenge: 94 Points and a Platinum medal.

Wine Region


California

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.

This wine is a beautiful expression of California Pinot Noir. It's well balanced and fruity with ripe notes of strawberry and cherry - the red fruits really shine - and are made to taste even better because they are offset by a touch of sage, honey, and earth.
