WINE DESCRIPTION

The grapes are sourced from the Central Coast appellation, which is known for its cool climate and ideal growing conditions for Pinot Noir. The vineyard features well-draining soils and a maritime influence, which contributes to the wine's unique flavor profile. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and aging in French oak barrels to enhance the wine's complexity and depth. The resulting wine is a medium-bodied Pinot Noir with a rich ruby color, aromas of red fruit and spice, and a silky smooth finish. It is a perfect choice for those who appreciate a well-balanced and elegant wine.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Bishop's Peak Pinot Noir offers a delightfully smooth and velvety texture with tantalizing aromas of dark cherry, raspberry and a hint of black pepper.On the palate, the dark cherry flavors are complemented by a touch of nutmeg and a savory earthiness. The finish is long and lingering with a rich, spicy character. Enjoy this lovely Pinot Noir with grilled salmon, pork tenderloin, or a hearty mushroom risotto.

ORIGINS

Winery: Bishop's Peak

Region: Central Coast California

The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States. The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.
