Sierra Del Mar Pinot Noir Central Coast 2017

The 2017 Sierra del Mar Pinot Noir is sourced from two distinctly different vineyard locations: one from Monterey in the Central Coast and the other in Clarksburg near the Sacramento Delta. The combination makes for a super cool wine– one that comes from both a cool coastal climate that has foggy mornings and sunny evenings vs one that enjoys early morning sunshine which is moderated by the early afternoon breezes from the San Francisco Bay.

The result of these two vastly different eco-systems is a racy Pinot Noir with vibrant crushed red fruits,  followed by a hint of vanilla and oak. It’s extremely well-balanced and offers a superb value — not many Pinot Noirs anywhere are made this good at the price that this could be had for today.
