About This Wine


Tailored Republic

Pinot Noir

Showing a classic flavor profile usually found in the best French Pinot Noirs, the Tailored Republic proves that California can be a great place to find complex Pinot Noir in the New World. Sourced in part from the Arroyo Secco region, its elegant and floral with a beautiful mix of red and dark fruits that dance on the lively acidity. The moderate tannins create a multi-layered Pinot that keeps unfolding as you try it. The light earth notes play beautifully off the fruit and make it particularly wonderful for pairing.

Wine Region


Arroyo Seco

Lying in the middle of the Salinas Valley, the under-appreciated Arroyo Seco AVA is a beacon of cool-climate winemaking in Monterey County. Its vineyards—especially those to the east—are buffeted for much of the day by cold Pacific winds and shrouded by fog. This combines to give Arroyo Seco an extremely long growing season. Soils throughout the AVA are stony, and these stones absorb sunlight to provide additional heat to the vines. While winemakers face a challenging growing environment, the effort is worth it, as the area produces superbly balanced Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling; intriguing Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon perform well in the western part of the AVA.

When pairing with this wonderfully complex wine be careful not to overwhelm it. A veritable boutonnière of cranberry, strawberry and pomegranate notes balanced with aromas of rose and vanilla.
