Fairfax Wine Co. Pinot Noir 2024 (750ML) Barbera d'AstiAlcohol: 13% Grape(s): Pinot Noir Localization: North Coast, California, USA Tasting notes: Who can resist a delicious California pinot noir under $20? Theyre hard to find, but this one offers classic pinot flavors of black cherry and spice with a nice velvety texture. I recommend opening it (and perhaps decanting) about an hour before drinking. Notes: Vinification in small open top fermenters followed by 10 months of aging in French oak, 15% of which

candied citrus and white peaches

deeply extracted flavors that follow suit

paella and sauerkraut dishes
