J Lohr - Falcon's Perch Pinot Noir - 750ml

VINEYARDS

Our Falcon’s Perch Pinot Noir is produced from cool climate grapes grown in the Arroyo Seco and Santa Lucia Highlands regions of central Monterey County. This area has earned a well-deserved reputation for producing world-class Pinot Noir. Over the past two decades, the introduction of Dijon clones of Pinot Noir, along with the old standby Pommard clone, has dramatically increased the quality of the varietal here. These newer clones are the backbone of this release of Falcon’s Perch. The wine was named for the bird which had made its home in the lone pine tree among the vines, safeguarding the grapes from vertebrate pests while preserving the ecosystem’s balance.

FOOD PAIRINGS

A pinch of red pepper in a recipe really sets off this Pinot Noir. Delicious when paired with Spanish chorizo or paella. Also matches well with mushroom dishes or roast salmon.
