WINE DESCRIPTION
Carr Three Vineyard Pinot Noir is a meticulously crafted wine sourced from three distinct vineyards, each contributing unique terroir characteristics to the final blend. The wine is aged for one year in oak barrels, with 15% of the oak being new, which imparts a subtle complexity and depth without overwhelming the fruit profile. This careful aging process allows the Pinot Noir to develop its structure and balance, showcasing the winemaker's attention to detail. The blend of vineyards and measured oak aging results in a refined expression of this varietal, reflecting both the region and the artistry behind its production.

ORIGINS
Winery: Carr
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.CUSTOMER RATING
