Tri County Pinot Noir is crafted from grapes California counties
Cherry Pie Tri County Pinot Noir 2018
This Tri County Pinot Noir is crafted from grapes grown across three distinct California counties, each with its own AVA designation. Most of the fruit comes from the cool Stanly Ranch vineyard in Carneros, known for producing elegant, fresh grapes. Additional fruit is sourced from Alta Loma and Arroyo Loma vineyards in Monterey County, where gravelly loam soils help develop rich earthy and ripe fruit flavors. The remaining grapes come from Los Alamos vineyard in Santa Barbara, cooled by the Pacific Ocean and planted on sandy soils, ensuring a long ripening period that builds acidity and intense aromas.
In the winery, these components are expertly blended to present an authentic expression of California Pinot Noir. The wine is aged in French oak barrels, 30% of which are new. On the nose, expect intense aromas of brandy-soaked cherries, cranberries, and strawberries. The palate is light and elegant, with bright red fruit flavors and refreshing acidity that linger beautifully. It pairs wonderfully with duck dishes, tomato-based pastas, or a generous charcuterie board.
Cheval des Andes 2019
Considered one of Argentina’s finest wines, Cheval des Andes is a collaboration between the prestigious Chateau Cheval Blanc of Saint-Emilion and Terrazas de Los Andes in Argentina. This blend combines 69% Malbec, 21% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Petit Verdot. The vines benefit from traditional furrow irrigation, drawing pure mountain water and promoting sustainable farming that balances vine health with soil and ecosystem conservation.
The wine shows a vibrant bright red color with deep purple highlights. Its complex aromatic profile offers plum, blackberry, and black cherry notes, followed by subtle anise, licorice, and smoky hints. On the palate, it is fresh and lively with silky tannins and a persistent, elegant finish. It pairs excellently with beef ravioli, charcuterie, and red meats.
Decanting for an hour before serving is recommended.
