Roger Roessler founded R2 Wine Company with the goal of creating great California Pinot Noir at an affordable price.  Black Pine Pinot Noir is the culmination of more than a decade of seeking out vineyards that have the elusive combination of great quality and exceptional value. In a great vintage like 2012, the result is one of the best Pinot Noir values on the market today.

The 2012 Black Pine Pinot Noir is medium ruby in color, with a hint of purple. Aromas of Bing cherry, cedar, raspberry, and sweet cream butter fill the glass. The palate shows darker cherry flavors, with notes of blackberry, cranberry, and vanilla. Medium bodied, with earthy spice and sweet red fruit lingering on the palate, this is a beautiful expression of California Pinot Noir, and can easily hold its own with bottles costing twice as much. Thanks to Pinot’s incredible versatility on the table, this would make a great house wine for the last few weeks of cold weather, and on into the warmer months.
