From the picturesque Santa Lucia Highlands, the Bold Wine Co. 2017 Pinot Noir captures the essence of its coastal terroir with remarkable finesse. Scoring 92 points from Wine Enthusiast, this wine unfolds with layers of ripe cherry and raspberry, complemented by subtle hints of earthy spice and a whisper of vanilla from oak aging. Its silky texture and balanced acidity make it incredibly food-friendly, pairing beautifully with roasted duck or a mushroom risotto. A delightful expression of California’s winemaking prowess, this Pinot Noir is a fantastic value, delivering a quality experience that exceeds many wines at a higher price point.
