Monterey County's cool, coastal-influenced climate shows through clearly in this approachable, food-friendly Pinot. The nose offers a bright mix of ripe cherry, strawberry, and cranberry, lifted by delicate floral notes and a touch of baking spice. On the palate, the wine is light-to-medium bodied with a silky texture — fresh red berry and plum flavors carry through the mid-palate, framed by soft tannins and lively acidity. A hint of earthiness and gentle spice adds dimension without weighing down the wine's overall sense of freshness. The finish is smooth and clean, wrapping up with a light toasty note.
