A tasty vein of cranberry and raspberry runs from the nose to the palate and lingers on the finish, giving this value-priced wine focus and vibrance. It has plenty of fresh acidity, fine tannins and good depth of flavor.

Nestled in the rolling hills of California near the 39th parallel, a group of passionate winemakers came together with a mission: to craft exceptional quality wines that delight the senses and protect the environment and communities they serve. This marked the debut of Line 39 wines, a leader in earth-friendly winemaking and proud member of the B Corp community.
From the very beginning, they knew they wanted to create delicious wines that also reflected their commitment to the planet. That's why they make their wine in a certified sustainable winery and source their grapes from certified sustainable vineyards that are committed to protecting the soil, the environment, their employees and communities around them. Healthier soils don't just make amazing wine, they capture the magic of their home. Winemaker, Alyssa Reynolds, creates beautiful wines that are balanced, nuanced, and truly unforgettable. Rich, fruity reds that highlight the best their grapes have to offer and bright, crisp whites that dance across your tongue, delivering refreshment straight to your taste buds.
As a certified B Corporation, they hold themselves to the highest standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. They invite you to join them on this journey and to enjoy some delicious wine.
Internationally recognized for gorgeous, pure fruit combined with great elegance, California Pinot noir thrives among the state’s cooler, coastal zones. Characterized by eclectic flavors and aromas of strawberry, black cherry, plum and potpourri with notes of forest floor, mushroom or black tea, the best California Pinot noir boast a supple texture and good acidity, giving them the ability to improve with age.
Credited with the beginning of Pinot noir’s glory in California, two growers, Joe Rochioli and Joseph Swan in the late 1960s independently planted Pinot noir vineyards in the Russian River Valley of Sonoma County. Today Sonoma County remains the leading producer of Pinot noir in the state, and Pinot noir is the leading red grape in the county, achieving its highest potential, in the Russian River Valley and Sonoma Coast.
Other coastal appellations where Pinot noir flourishes include Carneros, Anderson Valley and most of the Central Coast.
