BackhouseCaliforniaPinotNoir

Finding value in California wine is no easy task here in the UK, with import costs and duty hikes sending prices sky high. A few producers, however, manage to produce high-quality wines at eminently affordable prices. Foremost among them are Backhouse, a label of O’Neill vintners dedicated to producing affordable, yet delicious, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

This Pinot Noir is ripe and fragrant, with aromas of ripe strawberries, sweet spices and a hint of black tea. Rounded, silky and elegant; massively over-delivers on classic Californian Pinot Noir character.
