I almost always enjoy Pinot Noir from this appellation where Napa Valley meets Sonoma Valley. This offering shows typical Carneros earthiness, with cherry, cola and cardamom all coming through in aroma and flavor profiles. Food friendly acidity and a long finish with soft oak tones and a low price for the region make this wine worth seeking out.
