Stonewood Pinot noir 20NV

From Stonewood in California, this dry red wine is built around Pinot Noir, and it's a non-vintage bottling. A quick word on the grape: Pinot Noir is a delicate, thin-skinned red grape famed for its silky texture and bright flavors of red cherry, raspberry and earthy, savory undertones. California is America's wine engine, where warm, sunny valleys ripen generous, polished wines across just about every style you can name. Serve it slightly chilled with salmon, roast chicken or anything with mushrooms. Pop it open at cool room temperature — a brief chill on a hot day doesn't hurt.
