About This Wine

Devil's Advocate

Pinot Noir

With wine the Devil is in the details, and with Devil’s Advocate you can always be sure that you are drinking exquisitely crafted wine. This is a straightforward and easy-drinking style of Pinot Noir. Red fruited with just a touch of spiced currant complexity, it has an elegant balance that dances between well-developed acidity, moderate alcohol, and a silky texture. The Devil’s Advocate Pinot Noir is as good on its own as it is with food. We’ve been enjoying it at the beginning of a meal with smaller, lighter appetizers. Judges love it too. It took home 93 Points at the 2019 New York International Wine Competition and a Silver Medal at the 2019 Harvest Challenge and 2020 Winemaker Challenge.

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.

  • A figure representing the Black Cherry tasting note. Black Cherry

This is a classic and easy drinking Pinot Noir. With red fruit and a touch of spice, it's an elegant wine that is what we would call truly balanced. We love how the acidity plays off of food, and how it seems to be the ideal bottle to start off with at the dinner table.
