It is lush with plenty of ripe strawberry, red cherry, and wild berry fruit combined with hints of spice, cola, and a firm finish. Created with the philosophy that superb Carneros Pinot Noir can be affordable, this wine is indistinguishable in quality from its higher-priced competitors.

WHY EDUCATED GUESS?

Have you ever found yourself in a wine shop or restaurant perusing the wines and wondering . . . how do I choose the best wine for the money? You may admire a label, recognize a name, or recall a great review . . . in essence you’re making an educated guess. This is exactly what goes on in the vineyards and wineries around the world. When should we pick the grapes? How long should we barrel age in French oak? We use our knowledge, intuition, and years of experience to make the best possible decisions; however at the end of the day, it still remains an “Educated Guess.” At Roots Run Deep Winery we have done the Guesswork for you, and produced the richest, ripest, and most complex Carneros Pinot Noir you can buy for the money.

EDUCATED GUESS  CARNEROS PINOT NOIR:

Pinot Noir is truly a labor of love. Handcrafted in every way to insure that our wine has plenty of lush fruit to balance out the bright acidity that Carneros is known for. Educated Guess Carneros Pinot Noir is deep, rich, and concentrated in color and texture with ripe strawberry, red cherry, and wild berry fruit. Hints of spice and cola with firm tannins in the finish.
