Joel Gott – Pinot Noir – California

Overview:Since our start in 1996, we have selected the best fruit from growing regions in California, Oregon and Washington which we blend to create more balanced, clean, complex, and elegant wines. We are geared towards continuing to give our customers expressive and food-friendly wines at great prices. We hope you enjoy and will let us know what you think!

We source fruit from vineyards within Monterey and Santa Barbara, part of the Central Coast AVA, because of their ideal growing conditions for creating the style of Pinot Noir that we like to make. Fruit from marine-influenced Monterey experiences cooling, ocean breezes resulting in well-developed fruit flavors and balanced acidity. Vineyards located more inland in Santa Barbara experiences an even amount of sunlight, rainfall and light fog due to the mostly flat terrain with warm days and cool nights, resulting in rich, fruit flavors and good acidity.

Tasting Notes:Aromas of cherries, raspberries, plum and pomegranate with notes of toasted oak and spice. On the palate, flavors of bright red fruit and candied cherries are followed by soft, velvety tannins on the mid-palate and a long, elegant finish.

Pairing:Lamb
