Carmel Road Pinot Noir 2022

Carmel Road is nestled in the foothills of the Santa Lucia Mountains, inland from Monterey's rugged coastline, yet directly in the path of the relentless, cooling ocean influences. The winery's philosophy centres on capturing the vibrant, bright flavour profile of Monterey, where the interplay of fog, wind, and sun creates distinctive wines.
