2017 Carmel Road Winery Pinot Noir Monterey

Offering up a sweet bouquet of red berries, loamy soil, tea leaf and cocoa, the 2016 Pinot Noir from Carmel Road is a medium-bodied, open-knit wine with a delicate core of fruit and melting tannins. Bottled under screw cap, it's a pretty but uncomplicated Pinot Noir to enjoy in the near term.
