Ambrosial, silky, indulgent.
Now owned by Constellation Brands, this ubiquitous Pinot Noir, comes from fruit from Monterey County, Santa Barbara County and Sonoma County.
It has two siblings, a Chardonnay and a rose.
It stands true to its ambrosial upbringing, bursting forth with sarsaparilla, mocha, raspberry jam and kirsch with dried rose petals. Frankly supple with an indulgent amount of plush fruit, vanilla and mocha. Slick and silky, modern and approachable - a generous wine, which fans have come to love.
