The Pinot Noir grape, originally made famous in Burgundy, has been known for decades for its unique and distinctive character. While this distinct character can now be found in vineyards worldwide, it holds a special place at California winery Noble Vines. Founded by the Italian Indelicato family, this winery proudly presents its legendary 667 Pinot Noir. Over the years, Noble Vines, now led by the third generation of Indelicatos, has set a standard for California winemaking.
Excellent Pinot Noir from Monterey County
Active since 1924, the Indelicato family has a rich history in California winemaking. With nearly a century of experience, they own some of California's most prestigious vineyards. Their expertise is particularly evident in the cultivation of the Pinot Noir grape, which thrives in Monterey County. This cooler California wine region benefits from significant temperature differences between day and night, resulting in high-quality Pinot Noir grapes. This quality is immediately apparent in the bouquet and flavor of Noble Vines 667 Pinot Noir.
The Unique Taste of Noble Vines 667 Pinot Noir
While Pinot Noir is often described as idiosyncratic, it has contributed to some of the world's most coveted wines, including Noble Vines 667. It is arguably considered one of the finest Pinot Noirs from the United States. After fermentation, this wine is carefully aged in American oak, adding depth and complexity. A sip of this Noble Vines red wine reveals an exuberant bouquet of black currants, warm cherries, spices, and vanilla. The palate even surpasses the aroma with rich fruit notes, earthy nuances, spicy pepper, and a hint of coffee. A true taste sensation that has captivated many wine lovers.
