WINE DESCRIPTION
Aquinas Pinot Noir is a premium wine produced by Don Sebastiani & Sons. The grapes are sourced from the cool-climate vineyards of Monterey County, California, which are known for their ideal growing conditions for Pinot Noir. The vineyards are situated on the slopes of the Santa Lucia Mountains, where the cool ocean breezes and fog create a perfect environment for slow and even ripening of the grapes. The winemaking process involves gentle handling of the grapes to preserve their delicate flavors and aromas. The resulting wine is elegant and complex, with notes of red fruit, spice, and earthy undertones. Aquinas Pinot Noir is a perfect choice for those who appreciate a refined and sophisticated wine.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Aquinas Pinot Noir is a delightful wine that has a deep ruby-red color and a complex nose of ripe cherries, plums, and subtle smoky aromas.On the palate, it has a juicy and vibrant texture, with a well-balanced acidity and flavors of red currants, baking spices, and a hint of earthiness. The finish is long and enjoyable, with a lingering hint of blackberry. This is an exemplary Pinot Noir that will be sure to please.

ORIGINS
Winery: Aquinas
Region: North Coast California
The North Coast of California boasts some of the most renowned vineyards and wineries in the world. Located in the northern part of the state, the North Coast is home to the Napa Valley, Sonoma County, and Mendocino County, all of which are recognised for their exceptional wines.
The North Coast of California has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The region was first planted with vines by Spanish missionaries, who planted Mission grapes in the area. In the late 1800s, Italian immigrants began to settle in the region, bringing with them their own grape varieties and winemaking techniques. By the early 1900s, the North Coast had become a major wine-producing region, with many of the wineries still in operation today.CUSTOMER RATING
