Tucked into the foothills of the Coastal Range, the vineyard is cooler than most, and delivers Pinots with fresh pure red fruit, fine tannins and chalky acidity. Winemaker Shane Moore ages this Pinot Noir in large, mostly used oak barrels to lend subtle spice without overpowering the delicate fruit. Don't miss this elegant and fresh take on the Pacific Northwest’s favorite grape.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Southern Wine \u0026 Spirits","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53784751145324,"sku":"862442000013","price":54.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2424\/3053\/files\/gran-moraine-yamhill-carlton-pinot-noir-2022-750ml-476936.jpg?v=1779226380","url":"https:\/\/redneckwinecompany.com\/products\/gran-moraine-yamhill-carlton-pinot-noir-750ml","provider":"Redneck Wine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
