Bezel Pinot Noir ($29.99)
This Pinot Noir is part of the “A Tour of Wine Grapes” series.
Bezel Wines is a fresh wine adventure from the well-known Cakebread Family of wines.
Since 1973, they’ve been making wine in Napa Valley at Cakebread Cellars in Rutherford, California. But with Bezel, they’re venturing out of Napa to discover the hidden treasures of California wine country on the Central Coast.
In this case, the Bezel Pinot Noir was crafted in Paso Robles using Pinot Noir grapes from the Edna Valley, a cool-climate region renowned for its outstanding, elegant Pinot Noir. It spent 8 months aging in French oak.
This Bezel Pinot Noir has a medium ruby hue, with aromas of cherry and raspberry, along with some floral hints. On the palate, this medium-bodied wine offers flavors of black cherry and plum, complemented by bright acidity and medium-high tannin. It concludes with a light touch of sweetness.
Bezel Pinot Noir is part of the wonderful Cakebread family of wines. It’s delicious, reasonably priced, and widely available. It’s a fantastic choice for the Behind the Cork™ Wine of the Week. Cheers!
