Wow! A Pinot Noir of this quality at this price is a terrific find. A pale purple shading to brick at the edges, this Monterey wine offers nice fruit with a soft mouthfeel. Montoya Vineyards is located just outside Greenfield, CA, in southern Monterey County. Because of its proximity to the Pacific Ocean, this is a cooler growing region, perfect for Pinot Noir. The grapes come from old vines planted in the 1960s - this gives more concentrated flavor to the fruit, adding a sense of dried figs and spice to the standard strawberry. This is an easy-drinking option for all lighter meals.
