Domaine Carneros Estate Pinot Noir 2016 Review
Carneros is one of the cooler areas of Napa, making it ideal for Pinot Noir. This Carneros Pinot has all you want from this grape with punchy dark cherry fruit, cinnamon and chocolate with blueberries and some vanilla. If it wasn’t for the higher alcohol, there might more to enjoy, but this is a solid go to for people in your life that like bigger, richer wine, but say they like Pinot Noir.
