Careful winemaking lets the fruit speak clearly, balancing bright coastal freshness with generous Californian ripeness. The result is a Pinot that feels polished yet relaxed, offering depth and elegance without ever feeling heavy. It’s the sort of bottle that shines at the table but is just as rewarding enjoyed on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Note\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAromatic and inviting, with notes of red cherry, wild strawberry and a hint of rose petal.

During that time, he was introduced to wine, how it was made, and got hooked. A few more years of university led to graduation and eventually a job at Robert Mondavi Winery in 1997 as a temporary harvest worker. Deciding that if he was going to work this hard, it would eventually have to be for himself, he founded Orin Swift Cellars in 1998; Orin is his father’s middle name and Swift is his mother’s maiden name. With two tons of zinfandel and not much else, he spent the next decade making wine for others as well as himself and grew the brand to what it is today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"E\u0026J Gallo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57502252695939,"sku":"EJG11619","price":51.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0272\/9843\/1058\/files\/L_UsineSantaRitaHillsPinotNoir.png?v=1772706849","url":"https:\/\/www.perfectcellar.com\/products\/l-usine-santa-rita-hills-pinot-noir-2019","provider":"Perfect Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
