Unique. Balanced. Lush. Verada Pinot Noir harmoniously blends the complex flavors of three world-renown California wine growing regions. A bright ruby color entices while raspberry, red plum, and vanilla linger on the palette. Pair with salmon, tomato based dishes, and soft cheeses. For a vegetarian option, try Verada Pinot Noir with a spicy lentil curry. Monterey County |

lots went through 100% malolactic fermentation before aging in French oak for 16 months. A mixture of light and medium + toast contributed body, richness and finesse. GRAPE SOURCING “I sourced this wine from our vineyards in Monterey, Sonoma and Santa Barbara Counties. I find that the fog of the Santa Lucia Highlands gives the wine freshness while the Santa Barbara hill blocks provide a balancing ripeness and roundness. Pinot Noir, especially, likes being in cooler sites. Rolling hills, sandy, well-drained soils and careful vineyard site selection mean that we get a great mix of ripeness, flavor density and acid retention.” WINE FACTS Cooperage: French and American Oak, 35% New
pH: 3.65
