Mark West Pinot Noir
Mark West was founded in 1978 with one desire only: To craft remarkable Pinot Noir that delivers exceptional quality at an affordable price. With equal parts patience, hard work, and passion, we've followed our dream from vineyard to barrel to bottle.
We selected grapes from vineyards in the finest cool-climate regions of California in order to bring you a balanced fruit-forward Pinot Noir. After early morning harvesting, we gently crush and destem the fruit. We then ferment it in small stainless steel tanks, with daily punch-downs and pump-overs...basically, that's what we do to help get the great flavor and color you love. After a light pressing, we age the wine with French oak, then we blend it, bottle it, and you enjoy it.
TASTING NOTES The original. Medium-bodied with black cherry, cola, strawberry, plum, and soft tannins. No wonder this Pinot is a favorite.
