WINE DESCRIPTION

Mon Frère Vintner's Selection Pinot Noir is a testament to the finesse and elegance that California's vineyards can impart to this notoriously delicate grape variety. Produced with grapes sourced from select vineyard sites across the state's renowned wine regions, including the cooler, fog-kissed areas ideal for Pinot Noir, this wine reflects the diverse terroir of California. Mon Frère Winery is committed to crafting wines that express the varietal's character and the unique qualities of the land. The Vintner's Selection Pinot Noir undergoes careful vinification, with an emphasis on preserving the grape's subtle flavors and silky texture. Aging in French oak barrels adds complexity and a gentle touch of spice to the wine's profile, resulting in a Pinot Noir that is both accessible and sophisticated.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Mon Frère Vintner's Selection Pinot Noir greets the senses with an alluring bouquet of ripe red cherries, strawberries, and a hint of earthiness, setting the stage for a beautifully layered tasting experience.On the palate, it unfolds with a smooth and silky texture, carrying flavors of juicy red fruit, complemented by subtle notes of vanilla and spice from its time in oak. The wine's balanced acidity and fine tannins lead to a graceful, lingering finish that echoes with nuances of berry and a whisper of forest floor.
