Garnet Pinot Noir Monterey California 2018

Garnet Vineyards produces cool-climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from vineyards in the acclaimed coastal regions of Carneros, Monterey and the Sonoma Coast. Every Garnet wine is firmly rooted in select cool-climate vineyards. This level of artistic control allows Winemaker Emily DuBoce to manage the winemaking process from grape to bottle. Located in Carneros, Sonoma Coast and Monterey, Garnet’s vineyard sources grow wines that are true reflections of their cool-climate sites.

The aroma of this wine shows amazing depth as it opens up with blackberry and macerated cherry notes followed up by layers of clove, vanilla and perhaps a little duck fat.   An earthy smokiness is offset nicely by the richness of fruit on the palate.
