This elegant Pinot Noir from Imagery Estate Winery showcases the best of Monterey County with a pale to medium ruby color and expressive aromatics. The wine opens with delicate aromas of ripened strawberries, dark plum, ripe red cherry, and dark spice, revealing subtle notes of vanilla and roasted walnut. Crafted from grapes sourced from two premier certified sustainable vineyards in Monterey County—the San Lucas vineyard and the McCoy vineyard—this wine reflects the region's cool, maritime-influenced climate.

On the palate, it delivers a plush and balanced mouthfeel with notes of cranberry, raspberry, and an interplay of dark spice and white pepper imparted by hand-selected French and American oak barrels. The wine features a full-bodied texture through the mid-palate with fine acidity that enables pairing with a range of dishes, finishing with a medium-long, easygoing finish. The wine has been recognized by Tasting Table as one of the popular wines to buy at Costco, praised for its aromas of soft herbs and ripe berries. Wine Enthusiast awarded the 2022 vintage 85 points, noting its flat aromas of red plum and cinnamon with easygoing red fruit and light baking spice flavors, while Tasting Panel gave it 90 points, highlighting its lively character, full body, and abundant toasty, spicy oak layered atop lightly sweet fruit.
