Mark West Pinot Noir is a delightful expression of California's cool-climate vineyards, where grapes are nurtured to achieve a balanced, fruit-forward profile. Harvested in the early morning, the grapes undergo a gentle crushing and destemming process. This meticulous care continues through fermentation in small stainless steel tanks, where daily punch-downs and pump-overs enhance the wine's flavor and color.
After a light pressing, the wine is aged with French oak, allowing it to develop complexity before blending and bottling. This medium-bodied Pinot Noir showcases vibrant notes of black cherry, cola, strawberry, and plum, complemented by soft tannins that create a smooth finish.
Perfect for a variety of occasions, this wine pairs beautifully with roasted chicken, grilled salmon, or a charcuterie board. Enjoy it slightly chilled to fully appreciate its character.
Please drink responsibly.
