WINE DESCRIPTION

This J Vineyards Pinot Noir is a delightful blend of three distinct California regions: Monterey, Sonoma and Santa Barbara. The Monterey grapes offer a bold, ripe fruit flavor, while the Sonoma grapes provide unique aromas of baking spices and earth. The Santa Barbara grapes give this wine a balanced finish with a hint of oak and a touch of acidity. Together, these regions provide an amazing expression of California's Pinot Noir. On the palate, this wine displays a full body and flavors of ripe cherries, blackberries, baking spices and subtle oak. The finish is long and smooth, leaving behind a pleasant lingering taste. Enjoy this delicious Pinot Noir with grilled salmon, roasted pork tenderloin or a mushroom risotto.

ORIGINS

Winery: J Vineyards

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.
