Product Notes

Storm Wines Ridge Pinot Noir is a captivating burst of indulgence hailing from Santa Ynez Valley, California. This wine boasts a rich, ruby-red hue while its enticing aroma carries notes of ripe strawberries, black cherries, and subtle spices. The palate offers remarkable refinement, unveiling hints of wild berries, earthy undertones, and a touch of dark chocolate. A harmonious balance of acidity and well-integrated tannins ensures an elegant, prolonged finish. This Pinot Noir's expressive character portrays the quintessence of its Californian terroir, making it an impeccable choice for all discerning wine connoisseurs.

Tasting Notes

A cooler expression of red and black fruit brings with it a spicy graphite note that lends complexity and a sense of maturity, but with a stony, crisp acidity and rounded, beautifully balanced fruit.
