Description

*All wine is sold in the latest year's stocked vintage At Chalone Vineyard, they believe that great wine comes from great vineyards. A pioneer in the Monterey wine region, they bring you wines that reflect the unique characteristics of these vineyards. The cooling effect of the nearby Pacific Ocean allows the grapes to slowly ripen on the vine, giving this Pinot Noir its soft, velvety texture and lush berry aromas. 90 pointsWine Enthusiast *Best Buy* To call this the best California Pinot at this price on the market is not a back-handed compliment. It's a fine wine to drink now with Pinot-friendly fare, and what it lacks in depth it makes up for in immediate enjoyment. Shows real Pinot character, from the cherry, cola and pomegranate flavors to the acidity and delicacy.(12/2013)
