WINE DESCRIPTION

Mount Eden Vineyards Estate Pinot Noir is a premium wine produced by Mount Eden Vineyards, a renowned winery located in the Santa Cruz Mountains appellation of California. The high altitude location, above the fog line, allows both ripening sunshine and cooling ocean breezes resulting in a very well balanced wine. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques such as hand-harvesting, natural fermentation, and aging in a high proportion of new French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a classic expression of Pinot Noir, with aromas of red fruit, earth, and spice, and a silky texture on the palate. It is a perfect choice for those who appreciate elegant and complex wines with a sense of place.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Mount Eden Vineyards Estate Pinot Noir shows a high degree of varietal typicity with notes of candied strawberry, earth, and baking spice allied to a generous mouthfeel with velvety tannins.Its sublime balance makes you want to drink it immediately. However, if you can cellar it it will gain more earthy complexity over the next 15 years.

ORIGINS

Winery: Mount Eden Vineyards

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.
