Wente Angels Ink Monterey Pinot Noir is a masterpiece from the renowned vineyards of Monterey County, California. This wine is a tribute to the unique expression of the Pinot Noir grape, made with great care to preserve the natural character of the grape. The fermentation process takes place in stainless steel tanks, where the grape must is pumped over daily to achieve the maximum flavor and color from the grapes. After fermentation the wine is stored for 14 months on a combination of new and neutral oak barrels. Which gives the rich taste of ripe berries and a subtle but distinct vanilla sweetness.

This red wine has a nice deep red color and a harmonious aroma that matches its round and inviting taste. The cool sea air flowing in from the Pacific Ocean creates the perfect growing conditions for Monterey County grapes, resulting in a wine of both elegance and complexity. Wente Angels Ink Monterey Pinot Noir is the ideal choice to accompany duck or mild cheeses, served at a temperature of 14-16°C.
