The Pinot Project
California Pinot Noir from Michael Skurnik Wines, a New York-based importer and distributor of estate bottled wines from around the world. This negociant bottling resulted from the soft economy resulting in readily available grapes and juice at low prices. The inaugural vintage was 2009 ($14.99, but available for as little as $9.99 in some retail stores). The source of the juice is not disclosed.
