Cherry Pie Pinot Noir’s delicate cherry color may not prepare you for the wine’s assertive aromatics, and its big, mouth-filling fruit flavors may also come as a surprise. The wealth of Cherry Pie’s robust flavor may be due, at least in part, to the fact that the grapes were sourced from three different vineyards in three different counties (Monterey, Napa and Santa Barbara). The fruit was harvested in the cool of the night and each lot was fermented separately before being blended together to spend time in French oak.
