Description
Line 39's Pinot Noir from California is a testament to the region's capacity to produce expressive wines with a nuanced character. Known for its finicky nature, Pinot Noir thrives in cooler climates, but California's diverse microclimates offer a unique playground for this grape. This wine, with an ABV of 13.5%, aligns with the growing trend in California to emphasize balance and elegance over sheer power, allowing the grape's intrinsic flavors to shine through. Upon pouring, expect a vibrant garnet hue typical of a well-crafted Pinot Noir. This wine is poised to offer aromas of red berry fruit, such as cherry and raspberry, along with subtle floral undertones and hints of earthiness. On the palate, it should display a medium body, with soft tannins and a lively acidity that adds structure without overwhelming the fruit character. The age in oak, if any, will lend a whisper of spice, enhancing the complexity without masking the grape's natural elegance. The finish is anticipated to be smooth and clean, encouraging another sip. For serving, aim to bring this Pinot Noir to a temperature of around 55-60°F, as this will enhance its aromatic profile and highlight its acidity and subtle flavors. Decanting is generally unnecessary, but allowing the wine to breathe for a short period can open up its bouquet. Choose a large-bowled glass, which is ideal for swirling and releasing the wine's aromas. This is a wine that pairs splendidly with a variety of dishes. Consider serving it alongside roasted chicken, wild mushroom risotto, or a simple charcuterie board featuring mild cheeses and cured meats. While this Pinot Noir is delightful to enjoy now, it also holds the potential to develop further complexity with short-term aging. Whether savored immediately or tucked away for a future occasion, Line 39 Pinot Noir offers a genuine taste of California's evolving winemaking landscape.

Found this at my friends house last month and picked it up here after. Just as easy drinking as I remembered.

Had one glass with dinner, felt the 13.5% after half a bottle. Not bad, just a little stronger than I expected from pinot.

That one can sneak up on you for sure. Next time maybe check out the Angeline Pinot if you want something a bit softer.

Brought this to a family cookout and it went over well. Lighter style so it didnt overpower the burgers. Will buy again but wish they had a bigger bottle.

Glad to hear Line 39 worked at your cookout. If you want something similar in a bigger format, let me know next time. - Tom
