2023 Greengate Pinot Noir

Here at C&C, we’ve long considered Pinot Noir the quintessential red for the holiday season: graceful, aromatic, and endlessly versatile at the table. The 2023 Greengate Pinot Noir embodies everything we love about Edna Valley fruit. Grown just across the road at Greengate Ranch & Vineyard, this wine reflects the region’s cool coastal influence, where fog-filled mornings and long afternoons nurture Pinot Noir of exceptional nuance and balance. Hand-harvested and fermented in small lots, this vintage reveals aromas of sage, clove, olive tapenade, and a core of red fruit, followed by flavors of crushed raspberry, cranberry, and warm spice. The palate is refined yet structured, with polished tannins and a long, elegant finish. A perfect pairing for classic holiday fare: roast duck with herbs, prime rib, or Beef Wellington.
