WINE DESCRIPTION
Schug Pinot Noir is a premium wine produced by Schug Carneros Estate Winery, located in the Carneros appellation of California. The vineyards are situated in a cool climate region, which allows for slow ripening of the grapes and results in a wine with complex flavors and aromas. The winemaking process involves handpicking the grapes, fermenting them in small batches, and aging the wine in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a classic Pinot Noir with a medium body, silky texture, and notes of cherry, raspberry, and spice. It is a perfect pairing for a variety of dishes, including roasted meats, grilled vegetables, and rich cheeses.
