Edna Valley Pinot Noir 2020/21, Central Coast

This is made from a number of lesser-known spots in California’s Central Coast. The nearby Pacific ocean provides an almost constant breeze through the vineyards. This keeps fussy Pinot Noir grapes happy through a long growing season. And slow ripening grapes make complex and elegant wines. Central Coast may not grab the headlines like other nearby regions, but this means you get both great value and exceptional flavour. It’s light and silky, with flavours of blackberry compote, black cherry, cranberry and a long, smooth finish. Try it with roast lamb, or roast mushroom dish.
