Calstar Cellars Pinot Noir is a ripe, glossy Pinot Noir from the Russian River Valley located within Sonoma. The vineyards experience coastal fogs which significantly impacts the vines by having a cooling influence and slows down ripening. After harvesting and crushing the grapes, the wines are fermented, before being aged in a combination of French and Hungarian barrels to add notes of sweet spice to the succulent fruit flavors.
