This Presqu'ile Bien Nacido Vineyard Pinot Noir is a beautiful expression of the classic varietal.On the nose, aromas of black cherry, baking spices, and forest floor are complemented by hints of violet and cigar box. On the palate, this wine is elegant and balanced, with a juicy core of red fruit flavors and a creamy texture. The finish is long and lingering, with subtle notes of leather and spice lingering on the tongue. Enjoy this bottle now, or cellar for up to five years for further complexity.

ORIGINS
Winery: Presqu'ile
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.CUSTOMER RATING
