Wine Details
Lot 704 greets you with a harmonious blend of black cherry and plum wrapped in cinnamon spice underpinned by rose petals. On the palate, lush, ripe berries and cola integrate well with toasty oak, dried herbs, and balanced acidity. The quick, dry finish is redolent with tobacco leaf and dried mushrooms, making for an incredibly quaffable, elegant Carneros gem.

The Carneros region straddles both Napa and Sonoma, with its cool foggy climate and prevailing marine winds from the nearby San Pablo Bay providing ideal growing conditions for Pinot grapes. Lot 704 comes to us from a small family-owned winery located on its Napa side. Planted to east-facing hillside vineyards that receive morning sun as well as shade from the afternoon heat, these 20-40 year-old vines are the source for smooth, elegant wines vintage after vintage. Produced entirely from estate-grown fruit and barreled in French oak for just under a year, this is an eminently drinkable Pinot that’s an immediate candidate to be everyone’s favorite house pour. $35 under its original label.

Value Pinot
So, my wife and I opened this bottle recently and thought to ourselves: "there is nothing wrong with it." But - that just put it into context for us... it wasn't "great." The color is right and the aroma is where it needs to be for a CA pinot, but the mouthfeel is too soft, too squishy and the taste is too sweet. We both wished for a bit more acidity and complexity. This will do for our "random Tuesday nights," but we'll keep searching for that special pinot.

One of my favorite Pinots
This is a very good Pinot at a great price. It is perfect for an every day dinner with a steak off the grill.

Another Great Pick
After enjoying Zinfandel's and other Pinot's, I wanted to try different Lots. This one is very smooth on the tongue. I'll include this in my orders whenever available.

This is a great mid week Pinot without compromising great flavor. Nice finish as well.

Stunning
My biggest criticism with Pinot Noirs these days is that they are nothing more than fruit bombs. I was mentally preparing myself for that when I uncorked this bottle. Boy was I wrong! It had the perfect balance of fruit and a bit of oak and tobacco. It paired nicely with the wild salmon that I had for dinner. And rather then my post dinner scotch, I ended up drinking this with my post dinner cigar. It was such a nice pairing. I will defnitely have to order more.

Where have you been all my life?
I’m an Oregon wine girl, who’s tasted my share of pinots - this is everything I want from a Pinot Noir - it’s so balanced and a great price. This is a happy bottle of wine.
