U S Grant Union Vineyard Pinot Noir Santa Cruz Mountains 2018 is a distinctive California red wine crafted from 100% Pinot Noir grapes grown at the historic Union Vineyard overlooking Monterey Bay. Situated approximately 1,100 feet above sea level, the vineyard benefits from coastal influences and sandstone soils that contribute to the wine's remarkable character.

The 2018 vintage reveals complex aromas of ripe cherry, pomegranate, blackberry, blood orange, sandalwood and savory spices. The palate is concentrated and structured, offering vibrant fruit flavors, firm tannins and distinctive mineral complexity. Aged for 22 months in oak barrels, this elegant Pinot Noir develops a long, persistent finish with subtle citrus zest and espresso notes. An excellent pairing for roasted duck, grilled lamb, braised beef, wild mushrooms and aged cheeses.
