Mission Codename Lock and Key
Today’s Lockwood Vineyard 2009 Monterey County Grand Terroir Pinot Noir is a delightful little wine with a can’t miss price - and a Gold Medal to boot!
A recent tasting panel sampled a flight of 3 Pinots, and this was the one that had us talking. A delightful nose of braised black cherry and berry bramble gives way to flavors of dark berries, leather, and mushroomy earth. Or in other words, everything you hope for when you pop the cork on a Pinot.
Please enjoy our deepest recommendation for today’s wallet-friendly Pinot.
