Coqueverie

It might be known for its cool-climate winemaking, but Arroyo Seco is fast-becoming known as one of the hottest Pinot regions in the county. Just a stone’s throw away from the Pacific and with a light afternoon breeze, the conditions are perfect for a light, fruity Pinot Noir. The gravel soils soak up the heat during the day and release it when the temperature drops to make for excellent ripening conditions. On the nose, you’ll experience a fragrant burst of cranberry, strawberry, and pomegranate combined with notes of graphite, rose, and vanilla. Serve during a cool evening out on the porch with grilled salmon and great company.
