The 2019 vintage of this dry red wine received 91 Points from Wine Enthusiast. The grapes are sourced primarily from the sustainably certified Herbert Ranch Vineyard, located in the heart of California's Monterey County AVA. After being picked in the cool, early morning hours, the Pinot Noir grapes underwent a cold soak for 24 hours before being fermented with select yeast strains to enhance vineyard character. Each lot gets a tailored pump over schedule selected to enhance oak character and desired extraction levels. Once fermentation was complete, the highest quality lots were blended and aged to ensure the best aromatic and structural components worked in harmony. This bottled wine is 13.9% alcohol by volume. Complicated Wines believes in the philosophy that great wine doesn't have to be complicated: open it, pour it, sip it, enjoy it.
