Artesa Pinot Noir Los Carneros

Artesa's 2020 Pinot Noir was aged for 12 months in neutral French oak barrels. This wine showcases a distinctly Californian spice profile, reminiscent of the fragrant bay laurel trees that dot the woods and trails of the Bay Area, lending a minty-sage nuance. Blood orange, cranberry fruit, and lemon zest interplay beautifully with firm tannins, which add a slightly sappy texture to the finish. A thoroughly enjoyable wine, it’s an excellent companion to herb-dusted pork loin or savoury mushroom dishes, deserving of a place at your table.
