Fruit forward but very light with earth undertones.  Crisp clean finish, with just enough acidity to retain structure.  Versatile with food and very pleasant.

CATEGORY DESCRIPTION

Pinot Noir has the well deserved reputation of being a finicky and difficult grape to cultivate.  It thrives in cooler climates like Burgundy and the Willamette Valley in Oregon, but is also widely planted throughout sun-drenched California.  What to expect varies on growing conditions, but generally speaking California Pinot Noir is fuller bodied with ripe fruit and standout oak character.
