Smooth and fruit-forward California Pinot Noir in a party-sized bottle

This approachable Pinot Noir offers generous aromas of strawberry and violet, leading into bright layers of ripe raspberry, red cherry, and warm baking spices on the palate. A silky, medium-bodied mouthfeel is complemented by soft tannins and a subtle, earthy finish.

The story behind it

The maker

Established in 1978, Mark West was born out of a desire to make the notoriously difficult-to-grow Pinot Noir grape accessible and enjoyable for everyday wine lovers. Over the decades, the winery has mastered the art of sourcing and blending grapes from diverse California vineyards to consistently deliver smooth, classic style.

How it is made

Mark West was founded with a singular devotion to crafting high-quality Pinot Noir from California's premier cool-climate appellations. The winemaking team utilizes gentle destemming, daily punch-downs, and French oak aging to preserve the delicate, fruit-forward characteristics of the grape.
