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.

Always a winner
Really enjoyed drinking this wine. Had 2 bottles on my last order and they did not last long. The wine is a little heavier than the 703.

Excellent wine!
This Pinot Noir tastes of plums, raspberries, and strawberries along with aromas of rose petals, cola, mushrooms, vanilla, and a hint of smoke from aging in toasted oak barrels. Excellent wine that, in my novice opinion, goes well with all foods! An open bottle around our house does not last long!

Let it breathe!
A good wine that went well with our chicken. We couldn't finish it all the first night, so we had "seconds" 24 hours later and it really opened up.

Good for food pairing
Great color! A little more to the ruby side than garnet. Great legs with a fair amount of alcohol. Fruit of plum sauce and black cherry with a hint of cotton candy. Nice acidity that will pair with a wide range of foods. This actually went well with an arctic char. Great Pinot.

Comes off young
Nice fruit on the nose. Sugar, tannins and acid are not as integrated as they should be. Mouth feel is also a little thin. I believe this wine needs some time to mellow. But overall, worth the money.

Good wine at dinner
We drank both bottles of this over a couple of dinners. It was a good mealtime wine and well priced. I am not the biggest white wine fan but I enjoyed this wine.

Meh
This wasn't one of my favorites. The flavor was thin without depth compared to most of the amazing wines I've enjoyed from CH. Not bad, but I think I'm getting spoiled...

good pinot
We were pretty happy with this one and stands up to similar wines from the Carneros region.
Would definitely buy again.
