Toschi Vineyards Pinot Noir 2019 – Cali Cherry Whisperer

Tasting Notes

Let’s skip the boring sommelier babble. This Pinot greets you with a bright red cherry bouquet and sneaky exotic spice whispers—all wrapped in a light ruby cloak. On the palate, soft, gentle tannins glide over delicate mixed berries with a flirt of caramelized oak, leading to an elegantly smooth finish. It’s California Pinot, sweet and easy—like a velvet fist with a cherry tip.
