“Red fruits, Balance, Value for money”
This Pinot Noir is sourced exclusively from Wente's Riva Ranch Vineyard in Arroyo Seco. The wine is a true and elegant expression of Monterey’s finest grapes. Attractive aromas and flavors of red cherry, strawberry, cranberry, and crisp red apple with notes of baking spices and vanilla. The wine is elegant and well-balanced with lively acidity with delicate tannin and a long fruity finish.

From the winery:
“Our 2019 Riva Ranch Pinot Noir is subtle with delicate hints of baked red apple and cranberry complemented by notes of baking spices and coriander. This wine has beautiful lingering tannins making this a great wine for food pairings.”
Wente Vineyards is oldest, continuously operated winery in the United States. It was founded in 1883 and now in its fifth generation. They have been producing Chardonnay since 1912. The second generation winegrower Ernest Wente import Chardonnay cuttings from the University of Montpellier viticultural nursery in France. Today, over 80% of all California Chardonnay stems from the Wente Clone. We can say that the Wente family is the 'California's first family of Chardonnay'.
The Riva Ranch Single Vineyard Pinot Noir is sourced exclusively from Wente’s vineyard in Arroyo Seco, Monterey. Arroyo Seco is the ideal region to grow this Burgundian varietal because of the long, cool growing season, which allows the grapes to fully ripen and develop deep fruit flavors. The gravelly-loam soils found here, rich with shale and limestone deposits, impart desirable earthy and mineral qualities to the wine.
