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.

Rightly complex
This is a great every day pinot or great event starter wine for a dinner party where something bigger/bolder will follow. For the price point, I can think of several $30+ pinots that can't beat this one. This is why you buy from CH.

not as good as the 703
Cherry on the nose but more complex with dark cherry/plum and cola on the palate. Light-bodied with surprising lack of tannins for a 2018. Not sure why others found the finish lacking; although there was not a lot of depth, it did last awhile.

Another solid Pinot
Very comparable to the 703. Both came in my wine club case and both are tremendous. I found this one to be a little fuller and denser than the 703. Thus this one might be a little more versatile in terms of food pairings. We had this one with a spicy pork dish and it held its own.

Nice Pinot that is not too thin
I like Pinot for a change if it has some substance. This one fits the bill so I think I will order more.

Well Balanced
This Pinot is very well balanced with enough spice to complement a roast chicken or savory pork chops. Really enjoyed this one!
