WINE DESCRIPTION
Contour Pinot Noir is a remarkable example of a vibrant pinot noir style. This juicy, medium-bodied red offers ripe aromas of blackberry, plum, and dark cherry, with sweet baking spices, savoury notes, and clove. The palate is silky and smooth, with a well-balanced acidity that lingers on the long, velvety finish. Enjoy this delicious drop with grilled salmon, roasted vegetables, or a rich mushroom risotto.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Contour Pinot Noir is a stunning expression of the variety, with aromas of dark cherry, blackberry, and clove that lead into a palate of ripe blackberry, black cherry, and a hint of nutmeg.The tannins are silky and smooth, and the finish is long and persistent. A great food wine with its light structure and balanced acidity.

ORIGINS
Winery: Contour
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
