Avalon California Pinot Noir

Established in 2001 in bucolic western Sonoma County, Avalon offers approachable, delicious wines of unmatched quality. Thoughtful vineyard selection from California’s top winegrowing regions combined with intuitive winemaking methods assure that Avalon wines are beautifully balanced and effortlessly enjoyable.

Avalon PINOT is crafted with grapes grown in the cool climate growing regions throughout Central and Northern California. These marine influenced vineyards allow us to create a Pinot Noir that is crisp and complex, yet approachable. Once at the winery, the grapes were de-stemmed, gently pressed and cold soaked for several days prior to fermentation. After fermentation, the wine is aged for six to eight months in French and American oak.

Aromas of red cherry and spice lead to a lush palate of ripe red fruit. Medium in body,Avalon PINOT has a silky mouthfeel, smooth tannins and a lingering finish.

An enjoyable wine to sip on its own, Avalon PINOT complements mild cheeses, grilled salmon, roasted chicken and grilled pork.
