Carmel Road Pinot Noir 2023

Carmel Road Pinot Noir 2023 is a smooth, expressive red wine sourced from cool-climate estate vineyards in Monterey County, California. Crafted under Jackson Family Wines, it undergoes cold soaking before fermentation and gentle aging in French oak barrels to retain its bright fruit profile. In the glass, it displays a vibrant ruby color with inviting aromas of fresh red cherry, wild strawberry, black tea, and subtle woodsy spices. On the palate, it is light- to medium-bodied, juicy, and well-balanced, featuring bright acidity, soft tannins, and flavors of ripe berries and cola that lead to a crisp, silky finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with roasted chicken, grilled salmon, pork tenderloin, mushroom pizza, and mild cheeses like Brie or Gruyère.
