Occasional Wine Note: It's too hot in Napa to effectively grow Pinot Noir, so we're assuming these grapes had to be harvesting from the southern AVAs of Carneros and/or Coombsville that are on the cooler side. Regardless, this Pinot is just delicious. We love the dark cherry aromas and flavors so well complimented by hints of baking spices, pepper, and earthy undertones. This one just goes down way too easily. Oh, and it's under $30!

Critic Score: 90
A balanced pinot with aromas of violets, wild raspberries, cloves and nutmeg. It’s medium-bodied, with polished, creamy tannins.

Critic Score: 90
Deep in color and deep in black-fruit aromas, this robust wine wraps grippy tannins around blackberries, black cherries, black pepper and black tea on the palate. It is built to pair with rich meat and poultry entrées.
