Lot 9 | 2018 Carmel Valley Pinot Noir 750ml

The Carmel Valley AVA is not known as a cool-climate but this immediately north-adjacent vineyard to the Carmel Valley AVA border vineyard has nothing in common with the warmer valley influence. High-elevation and windblown with an incredible diurnal swing, this uplifted seabed, shale and chalky sandstone site is more reminiscent of the extreme sites of the Sta. Rita Hills with temps that rarely rise above the 70's.

Here we go folks..another $45 bottle of wine for the equivalent of $15 a bottle.

N.09 2018 Carmel Valley Pinot Noir is pitch perfect aromatically with black cherry, dark earth and clay folded into a cinnamon, ginger and rose petal aromas. Its warm and fleshy on the palate with seamless tannin's lingering in a long, spicy finish of rhubarb and lavender. Yep, sexy juice.
