Behind the Cork™ Wine of the Week

February 1, 2017

2014 Line 39 California Pinot Noir ($10)

'Line 39' represents the 39th parallel of Northern California's wine country and this Pinot Noir is from vineyards in Monterey. As with most California Pinot Noirs, this wine has nice strawberry, raspberry and black cherry flavors with just a hint of the French oak barrels used for aging. Yet another great value, especially for a Pinot Noir from California. And, it got a 90 point "Best Buy" from Wine Enthusiast!
