About This Wine


Hawthorne Grove

Pinot Noir

Created by acclaimed winemaker Joe Otos and produced from Pinot grown in California’s renowned Monterey wine region, this luscious red won Gold at the 2016 New York International Wine Competition, Silver at the 2016 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition and another Silver at the 2016 Los Angeles International Wine Challenge. It's delicate and silky, with flavors of red fruits, black raspberry, leather and spiced plum. We liked it so much, we bought the entire inventory for Firstleaf members, so it’s only available here. Sara Schneider, Wine Editor at Sunset magazine, loved it, too, describing it as "a complex mix of dark cherry, loam, and spice... wrapped in pretty floral aromas with a hit of black pepper."

Wine Region


Monterey

Situated on the northwestern tip of the Central Coast region, the secret to Monterey's quality lies in its setting between the Gabilan and the Sierra de Salinas Mountains. They funnel morning fog and cold afternoon air down the Salinas Valley, cooling the vines and allowing grapes to ripen slowly. There are broad variations in microclimates along the valley, allowing varieties like Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc to grow well in the north, while Cabernet, Merlot, Syrah and Zinfandel ripen best in the warmer south.
