Effort Pinot Noir 750ml 2021

$45.00

Effort is the second label of Center of Effort, the estate winery in Edna Valley on California's SLO Coast, one of the coolest growing corridors in the state. The 2021 is 100% Pinot Noir at a trim 13.5% alcohol. Wine Enthusiast gave it 95 points and an Editors' Choice, saying it overdelivers hard for an entry bottling. Bright, snappy, red fruited coastal Pinot. Weeknight roast chicken wine with a critic's score attached.

Raspberry, pomegranate, loamy earth and wild mint on the nose. Snappy red fruit and light herb flavors, fresh acidity, long silky texture through the finish.

Roast chicken, seared salmon, mushroom risotto.

Center of Effort farms estate vineyards in Edna Valley within the new SLO Coast AVA, a short run from the Pacific, with cold marine air keeping acidity high and alcohol modest.
