Robert Mondavi Winery 2018 Pinot Noir Napa Valley Carneros

The foggy, wind-swept slopes of the Carneros region are an ideal home for Pinot Noir, a cool-climate loving grape. Great care is needed to produce fine pinot noir, a notoriously challenging and thin-skinned variety, and the marine influences allow for gradual, flavor-building hang time needed for peak flavor maturity.

Vibrant flavors of black cherry, red plum, and red cherry fruit are lifted by a zesty hint of tart cranberry and made complex by fresh nutmeg spice and forest floor earthiness.
