Folktale Winery Whole Cluster Reserve Pinot Noir is a red wine from Monterey County, California, sourced from the renowned Santa Lucia Highlands appellation on the Central Coast. The "whole cluster" winemaking technique means the grape clusters are fermented with stems intact, lending the wine additional structure, complexity, and earthy aromatics characteristic of this old-world method.

This Pinot Noir displays aromas of wild plum, rhubarb, and rose petal, with a vibrant, food-friendly acidity on the palate. Flavors of tart boysenberry, orange peel, and subtle wood spice carry through to a refined finish. The Santa Lucia Highlands terroir — known for its cool marine breezes and foggy mornings — contributes elegance and bright fruit character to the wine.

Folktale Winery, based in Carmel-by-the-Sea on the Monterey Peninsula, focuses on small-lot, artisan wine production using low-intervention techniques. The winery draws fruit from carefully selected vineyard blocks across Monterey County. Each bottle is 750ml.
