Carmel Road Winery is located in the heart of Monterey County where the air is crisp and the tempo is relaxed and measured. In the mornings our vineyards are often shrouded in thick fog. Most afternoons a brisk Pacific Ocean wind blows southward along the ridge tops and benchlands of Salinas Valley delivering fresh, cool maritime air. For years our cold climate was a deterrent to many California vintners. Only recently was it discovered that Monterey is arguably the one of the best terroirs in the world for Burgundian varietals.
Since 1999 we have been producing hand-made Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs from some of the finest hillside and benchland vineyards in Monterey. | Soledad, CA

2004 Chardonnay
Arroyo Seco
"Distinctive, shy-bearing clones such as Rued and Dijon have been specifically selected for Carmel Road Chardonnay. These clones thrive in the decomposed granite soils of Arroyo Se ... moreco and provide focused flavors and perfumed aromatics of citrus and melon fruit. Complete malolactic fermentation with weekly stirrings add creamy, vanilla and toasty notes to the wine."

2004 Pinot Noir
Arroyo Sec0
"Our Pinot Noir matures in French oak casks for 14 months with a single racking. As Pinot Noir is a delicate varietal, too much air exposure will diminish fruit flavors and aromas. ... more After aging in barrel, the lots are blended and bottled without filtration or fining, preserving the most delicate aromatics and flavors." - Ivan Giotenov, Winemaker
