Wine Enthusiast 91 points, Best Buy!

The Pinot Project began in 2009 with a vision: a wine for the palate, the pocket, and the people. Renowned wine importer Skurnik Wines called on their experiences in the vineyards and cellars of Northern California to craft a silky, fruit-forward, and harmonious Pinot Noir. Since then, The Pinot Project has taken the wine world by storm.

"Best Buy: Vibrant, with aromas of Bing cherry and dark plum and notes of cinnamon, potpourri, and Tahitian vanilla bean on the nose, the flavors on the palate are fresh strawberry, dried cranberry, raspberry cream, White grapefruit zest, dried bay leaf, integrated tannins, and a dry, mouth-watering finish. Aerate and pair with roast whole chicken " -T.P.—Wine Enthusiast 91 points

The Pinot Project Pinot Noir is handcrafted from high-quality vineyards in California’s Coastal Regions, from Monterey & San Benito in Central Coast to Suisun Valley in the North Coast. The diversity in soil and climate from these AVAs contributes to depth in character, balance, and pristine fruit. The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness and then destemmed to express bright fruit flavors and maintain freshness.

This vintage of our Pinot Noir has an elegant and vibrant profile with a ruby red hue. There are aromas of pomegranate, cranberry, and baking spice with a hint of dried rose petals. The vibrant aromatics are a lovely companion to the firm, fine tannins and balanced acidity. This is the perfect wine for firm cheeses, fresh fruit, and lighter proteins. It could be enjoyed all the way through dessert.
