The Pinot Project 2022 delivers classic California Pinot Noir character for under $12, proving that quality wine doesn't require a premium price tag. Michael Skelnick's ambitious project creates accessible, authentic Pinot Noir by sourcing from quality vineyards across California's diverse growing regions.

• Available for approximately $11.89 at retailers
• Part of a Pinot-focused collection including Pinot Grigio from Italy and Washington, plus a Rosé of Pinot Noir
• Sources grapes from Mendocino, Susan Valley, San Benito, and other California coastal regions
• Minimal oak influence with just enough French and American oak for subtle vanilla notes
• Classic translucent cherry color with aromas of sweet cherries, mushrooms, and herbs
• Moderate 13.5% alcohol content (lower than many modern California Pinots)
• Well-structured with balanced acidity that gives the wine proper length
• Previous vintage (2021) received 91 points from Wine Enthusiast
