Notes of vanilla from aging in French and American oak add complexity to the intense black cherry aromas and flavours. This Pinot Noir comes from vineyards up and down the coast of California. Cool conditions in these prime growing spots keep grapes at a perfect balance between vibrant dark fruit character and bright acidity. Murphy-Goode California Pinot Noir is a rich and elegant wine that offers a complex and layered taste from the moment it is opened. With a deep ruby-red hue, it smells of dark cherries, cranberries, and the subtle perfume of rose petal. The first sip provides a burst of flavours like juicy plums, tobacco, and liquorice that are complemented by the soft and velvety tannins. The wine finishes with a hint of smokiness that lingers for a while, leaving you wanting more.

The story and narrative of Murphy-Goode began in 1985 with three friends Dale Goode, Dave Ready, and Tim Murphy. The endeavour and venture for the winery started when an idea originated during the friends’ weekly get-together and game of liar’s dice. The three shared a mutual love and passion for wine. Thus, they decided to establish their distinct winery on that particular night. It led to the creation of Murphy-Goode. Today, Murphy-Goode produces some of the best wines in Sonoma County. It implements various sustainable techniques and practices to retain and maintain its wines’ consistent quality and superiority, making products of integrity and character.

This wine is perfect for pairing with roasted meats, game birds, and rich pasta dishes. It also makes a great standalone sipper for the ultimate relaxation.
