Melanin

I was introduced to this gem by a dear friend who had a bottle on hand. THE CHARLES WINE COMPANY’S MELANIN PINOT NOIR is a complex, medium bodied wine with dark cherry, boysenberry, and blackberry flavors, with a touch of mocha.

Crafted from grapes in the  Lodi Central Valley, the perfect climate for varietals. This family-owned, boutique winery is expanding the availability of their wines in retail spaces.  And you can always order direct from  charleswineco.com.

Priced at $21.
