Cherry Pie Tri-County Pinot Noir
Cherry Pie Tri-County Pinot Noir – Multi-Appellation California Pinot Noir | Cherry Pie Wines
Cherry Pie Tri-County Pinot Noir is a bold, fruit-forward California Pinot Noir from Cherry Pie Wines — the celebrated label founded by winemaker Jayson Woodbridge, known for crafting some of California’s most expressive and hedonistic Pinot Noir expressions. The Tri-County bottling draws on fruit from three of California’s premier Pinot Noir appellations, blending the distinct character of each county into a wine of greater complexity, depth, and dimension than any single appellation could achieve alone.
Cherry Pie’s winemaking philosophy is rooted in the pursuit of pure, concentrated fruit expression — wines that are lush, generous, and unmistakably Californian in their ripe, vibrant character. The Tri-County blend is the fullest expression of that vision: a Pinot Noir that is rich and approachable, with the kind of layered complexity that rewards both immediate enjoyment and thoughtful exploration.

How to Enjoy
Cherry Pie Tri-County Pinot Noir is best served at 14–16°C (57–61°F) in a Burgundy-style glass to showcase its generous aromatics. Decanting for 20–30 minutes will open up additional layers of dark fruit and spice. Its rich, fruit-forward character pairs beautifully with roasted duck, braised short ribs, grilled salmon with cherry glaze, mushroom-based dishes, aged gouda, and dark chocolate desserts — bold, savory flavors that complement the wine’s lush California Pinot Noir character.
