Glenville Monterey County Pinot Noir 2021

Pinot Noir grapes are harvested at the peak of ripeness and brought to the winery during early morning hours. The grapes are hand sorted and gently destemmed into small open top fermenters. Fermentation takes place for 7-14 days with three punch downs per day. It's then pressed off, grained down and settled into 40% new French Oak barrels for aging.

Appellation Notes:

The Monterey County area has a cool climate due to its proximity to the Pacific Ocean, which helps to retain acidity in the grapes and produce wines with bright, fresh flavors.

Flavor Profile

Beautiful red jewel tones. Aromas of raspberry, cherry, cola and spice notes. Flavors of sweet red fruit, with hints of cinnamon spice and sweet vanilla.
