Occasional wine note

It's too hot in Napa to effectively grow Pinot Noir, so we're assuming these grapes had to be harvesting from the southern AVAs of Carneros and/or Coombsville that are on the cooler side. Regardless, this Pinot is just delicious. We love the dark cherry aromas and flavors so well complemented by hints of baking spices, pepper, and earthy undertones. This one just goes down way too easily. Oh, and it's under $30!

What experts say about this wine

100

James Suckling

A balanced pinot with aromas of violets, wild raspberries, cloves and nutmeg. It’s medium-bodied, with polished, creamy tannins.

Wine Enthusiast

Deep in color and deep in black-fruit aromas, this robust wine wraps grippy tannins around blackberries, black cherries, black pepper and black tea on the palate. It is built to pair with rich meat and poultry entrées.
