In a warm region like this, Cabernet Franc can ripen fully enough to show dark fruit and real depth, but still hold on to the freshness and herbal detail that make the grape worth drinking in the first place.

Rather than picking the grapes early and sacrificing flavour, the Scheid family allow their Monterey Pinot Noir to reach full maturity before harvesting, then ferment it completely dry so no residual sugar remains. A portion of the finished wine then has some of its alcohol gently removed using proprietary technology before being blended back, bringing the final wine down to 9% ABV while retaining the ripe cherry, pomegranate and silky character of the original wine. The fruit comes from sustainably farmed Monterey vineyards, where cool Pacific influence helps Pinot Noir retain the freshness and acidity that make this lighter style work particularly well.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect With...
