Crave Vineyards Pinot Noir Monterey County 2014 750mL 4 cm Cut Capsule

Crave Vineyards Pinot Noir Monterey County 2014 (4cm Cut Capsule) is a Californian Pinot Noir from Monterey County, with the 4cm cut-capsule finish identifying this as a specific packaging run from the 2014 release. Crave is a small, family-run Monterey project that focuses on cool-climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from the Salinas Valley side of the AVA.

From the Producer

Crave Vineyards is a small Monterey County producer working with cool-climate fruit from the Salinas Valley, where the maritime influence of Monterey Bay gives slower ripening and a Pinot Noir profile that sits between the brighter coastal fruit and the riper inland style. The winery's portfolio centres on single-varietal Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, with Pinot Noir typically fermented in small lots to keep the cool-climate aromatics intact. The 2014 vintage in California delivered generous, ripe fruit across most coastal counties, and this bottling — distinguished by its 4cm cut-capsule finish — comes from that release programme.

Tasting Profile

• Nose: Red cherry, raspberry, plum, gentle spice and a soft floral lift.
• Palate: Medium-bodied and round, with ripe Pinot Noir fruit, soft tannin and light savoury depth.
• Finish: Smooth and easy, with lingering red fruit and a clean, lightly spiced close.

Best For

Casual dinner tables, restaurant house pours and approachable gifting where a softer Californian Pinot is the right fit. Pairs well with roasted poultry, salmon or mushroom dishes.
