About This Wine

Tule Elk Junction

Pinot Noir

California is a place that fosters unique things. We most often encounter unique California wines, wines that have real terroir, wines that showcase the special characteristics of a small plot of land. The wine we offer today is named for another unique California native: the Tule Elk. The Tule Elk Junction Pinot Noir showcases flavors that aren’t found in most robust California reds. We love the complex, almost savory finish with just enough acidity to keep every taste fresh. It is a lovely wine to pair with food, and we’ve been enjoying it immensely with grilled pork and salmon accompanied by mushrooms sautéed with red wine. Judges love it too! It took home 91 points and a Gold medal at the 2019 West Coast Wine Competition!

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 is a beautifully complex wine. We love the savory finish that is supported by ripe acidity. It's a fantastic pairing wine, and the fruit flavors harmonize especially well with roasted and caramelized foods.
