Golden Bear’s light and earthy 2007 Pinot Noir marked the end of our time with Pinot Noirs, for now. A partner with Brucher Winery, Golden Bear Winery is located in the Santa Maria Valley and came highly recommended by Central Coast Wines for its pairing versatility and classic Pinot nose.

“What a treat. Light and earthy. I’m hoping to have a chance to go down and visit Golden Bear soon.” – Mr. Stigson

“I’m surprised I haven’t heard of this winery before. Love the label and a great wine to end our Pinot Noir month!” – Syrah

“Wow this is good. I am going to need to schedule a wine tasting trip down there.” – Sir Christopher Douglas

“Light, fragrant, and thoroughly enjoyable. Plus there’s a California bear on the label.” – Blender

“A nice bouquet of honey and cherry. Hey, it’s my nose, that’s what I smell, and it smells good. Upon swirling and tasting, it was nicely rounded. Plum, hint of smokiness, tiny bit of good ol’ oak. Drink it now. Don’t cellar.” – Frenchy

“Nice, warm, berries and earth. Very smooth.” – Captain Chardonnay
