2018 Estancia Pinot Noir

To keep your resolution to drink smarter, I am bringing you another killer deal from the warehouse of Big Red Liquors: 2018 Estancia Pinot Noir Monterey County, CA Retail: $16.99 each VIP: $9.99 (OVER 40% OFF!!) The fog slowly creeps into the vineyards as the cooling breezes from the bay rustle the growing bunches of pinot noir grapes nestled between the Santa Lucia & Gabilan ranges in California’s Central Coastal region. After a day of warming, ripening sunshine that can reach near the century mark of the thermometer, the cooling fog created from the Monterey Bay’s deep, cold water canyon is essential to the near idyllic climatic conditions that create beautiful Pinot Noir. For over 30 years, Estancia has been creating wines from the Pinnacles vineyard in the Monterey AVA that express the true varietal character and essence of Monterey. These Pinot Noirs have been lauded as Best Buys, 90+ point ratings and have won medals in international wine competitions. Appealing floral notes of violet and lavender, intertwined with fruit aromas of cherry and plum. Concentrated flavors of black cherry, brown sugar, plum and leathery notes with a silky mid-palate and a rustic toasty finish. – Winery Notes This is a great wine to have on hand. Perfect for impromptu get-togethers, a great host gift or good for ‘those days’. It is a versatile wine that pairs well with lighter meats, heavier mushroom or tomato sauces or hanging out with friends… furry quadruped or human…or both! Don’t let January get you down….Have a $10 bottle of tasty Pinot Noir! Jill
