When we asked winemaker Joe Otos to create the type of Pinot Noir he keeps in his personal collection, he provided us with West Coast Wine Cellar 2015 Pinot Noir, winner of the Gold Medal at the 2017 West Coast Wine Competition. A vision of California winemaking, West Coast Wine Cellar conveys Otos’ meticulous attention to detail, highlighting grapes from three regions selected for their unique and complementary flavor profiles.

REGION:

Joe's knowledge of California’s distinct microclimates and terroirs is evident in every sip of this nuanced Pinot. The volcanic soil of the Sierra Foothills creates soft round textures with flavors of ripe red fruit and Bing cherry, while grapes from Mendocino County introduce notes of dried strawberries and herbs. Balanced with the sweet plum and juicy raspberry flavors found in grapes from the Lodi AVA, West Coast Wine Cellar 2015 is a fruit-forward Pinot that is one of the most food-friendly wines we’ve ever produced.

TASTING NOTES:

Bold flavors of blackberry, plum and blueberry are layered with hints of oak and cedar, giving this wine the complexity to enjoy on its own or complement a variety of foods. This is the Pinot Noir that our winemakers keep on hand in their personal wine cellars, and is a must have addition to your collection.
