2014 Cali's Cuvee Pinot Noir, 750ml
Our flagship “drink-now” Pinot Noir offers a rich, earthy nose of mossy forest floor. Lively tannins reveal luscious blackberries, mingling with plum, a waft of tobacco and a flinty minerality.
The flagship Pinot Noir from Left Coast Estate is a true snapshot of our terroir and a window to our estate, combining all the blocks and different clonal selections from our vineyard. Named in honor of Cali, our owners’ daughter, the wine displays bright red fruit flavors, and a freshness that can only be found in the Willamette Valley.

"A spendid example of affordable Oregon Pinot, this benefits from a great vintage for forward, fruit-driven wines. It has additional assets: balance, texture and length, all compact in a young wine still in its infancy. The sappy raspberry fruit and overall polish suggest giving it another couple of years of bottle age before opening." - P.G. (Feb. 2017)
