Joyce Vineyards 'Submarine Canyon' Pinot Noir 2021 Review
The Joyce family began farming and making wine in Monterey in the late '80s. Fast forward to today and current stewards Russell and Charlotte Joyce continue the third generation of the family. This Pinot is so Monterey, with classic cherry notes tinged with the welcoming aroma of cinnamon. It smells like big fat wine but with one sip the light vibrant acidity channels through, lifting the wine on the palate. The result is a round, juicy, and balanced Pinot Noir.
