Are you in the market for a delicious, fuller-styled, and value-priced Pinot Noir? The Spoken West Pinot Noir is exactly what you want, and it comes fresh on the heels of us featuring their crowd-pleasing Cabernet Sauvignon.
Crafted by Jamey Whetstone, who made wines at Turley alongside Ehren Jordan for 7 years, it's way better and definitely DRIER than Meiomi, Mark West, and Josh Pinot Noirs. Jamey moved to the Napa Valley from Charleston, SC in the mid-1990's, and after years of working with some of the top winemakers in the world, he decided to start his own operation.
That's Jamey, checking on his grapes!
At Spoken West, it's all about good fruit sourcing and making highly attractive, people-pleasing wines that everyone can afford. Drink this silky, rich, and toasty Pinot Noir with roast chicken, salmon, or nothing at all.
2022 Spoken West Pinot Noir: Why should you buy it?
- Let's face it, finding sub-$15 domestic Pinot Noir with any redeeming qualities is no easy task, but this richer, rounder, and very varietally-correct Pinot is legit.
- It pours a gorgeous ruby color and shows attractive notes of warm cherry, dark cherry, raspberry, espresso, chocolate, and oak spice. Smooth and silky on the palate, this stuff goes down a bit too easy.
- Jamey sourced high-quality grapes from friends and growers in the warmer Clement Hills section of Lodi as well as the cooler Arroyo Seco sub-AVA of Monterey County. Aged for 8 months in 10% new French oak, it drinks like a wine that costs more.
This is the kind of red you want to have on hand for all sorts of meals, occasions, and friends and family. It won't break the bank, but no one will complain that it tastes cheap, I guarantee it!
