2022 Tassajara Pinot Noir Monterey

Winemaker Notes: Garnet color. Aromas and flavors of roasted cherries and nuts, cocoa, hint of crispy bacon, and balsamic roasted mushroom with a silky, bright, fruity medium body and a smooth, medium-long finish with notes of spiced and chocolate covered cherries, toasted beets, cherry cola, and dried leaves with a suggestion of oak flavor. A nice example on Monterey Pinot with bright ripe fruit, silky texture and tannins delivered in a tidy package.

Tassajara Pinot Noir comes from the sustainably certifided vineyards of the Scheid Family located in Monterey, CA. The name Tassajara comes from the famed Tassajara Hot Springs, where legend has it the native Indians would go for renewing spiritual energy. The Scheid Family uses 100% renewable energy in the form of Wind Powered Turbines.
