Experience Award-Winning Complexity in Every Sip

Crafted in California’s renowned Russian River Valley appellation, this 2022 Pinot Noir from The Calling is a masterclass in balance—awarded 90 points by Wine Enthusiast for its rich texture and captivating flavor profile. Perfectly suited for enthusiasts seeking a medium-bodied red wine with elegance and depth, this bottle combines dessert-like sweetness with a crisp dry finish that sets it apart from crowd-pleasing fruit bombs.

Aroma & Taste

Breathe in alluring aromas of Bing cherry pie, wild strawberry preserves, and warm baking spices like clove and nutmeg—notes that evoke cozy evenings yet remain refined enough for refined palates. On the palate, vibrant red fruit flavors (raspberry coulis, sun-kissed plum) mingle with velvety tannins and bright acidity that keep it refreshing despite its lush mouthfeel. While its brown sugar undertones suggest dessert pairings, its light tannin structure ensures versatility at any meal—whether sipped solo or matched with roasted poultry or earthy mushrooms.
