The grapes for The Monterey Vineyards wines come from vineyards located in the northern most area in the region’s long valley, which begins in Monterey Bay and runs southeastward down the California coast. Cool Pacific Ocean winds make the northern part of the valley perfect for elegant Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Diverse soils and a long growing season contribute to these wines’ ripe, complex flavors and impeccable balance.
TASTING NOTES:
There’s a sensual quality to Pinot Noir, not only in its beguiling aromas and flavors, but also in its silkiness as it flows across the palate. Our Pinot Noir developed its complex expression of ripe black cherry, sun-warmed rose, tobacco leaf and spice in cool-climate vineyards near Monterey Bay. Mocha and vanilla aromas, from French oak, add complexity. Supple, fine-grained tannins and balanced acidity frame the red-berry flavors mid-palate and then enliven the vibrant finish. Enjoy how the wine’s aromas and flavors become unveiled and transform as you swirl and sip the wine through the meal.
