Carmel Road First Row Pinot Noir 2013
a Pinot Noir from Monterey • CA
$55
per bottle
This wine is sourced from a single vineyard block situated on the subtly sloping vineyard floor, where the first row of the block acts as a wind break, protecting the rest of the rows from the force of Monterey's fierce afternoon winds. This Pinot Noir is flush with flavors and aromas of black cherries and backing spice with a strikingly rich, textural mouthfeel.

Carmel Road Winery
Where vines meet ocean winds. Where the foothills meet the valley.
Where a tranquil state of mind meets artisan style. This is Carmel Road Winery.
Inland from Monterey’s rugged coastline, yet still directly in the path of the ocean’s relentless influence, Carmel Road Winery creates vibrant Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Riesling that captures the essence of this remarkable region.
We were drawn to the area two decades ago, attracted by the combination of cool, foggy nights and warm, sunny, days that ripen fruit to perfection. Once thought too cool for vineyards, Monterey is now considered one of the premiere growing regions in California. Our sustainably farmed vineyards stretch across windswept benchlands, where the maritime climate and well-drained, alluvial gravel soils produce highly expressive wines. The first vintage of Carmel Road wines was released in 1999.
There’s a back road that stretches from the town of Carmel by the Sea, traversing the Arroyo Seco and through scenic gaps in the Santa Lucia hills, connecting the inland growing region with to the ocean. This winding trail was the inspiration for our name, our own Carmel Road.
