Quality and affordability were paramount in the creation of the Fundamental Joey Tensley Pinot Noir. Joey and Jennifer Tensley chose "Fundamental Wines" as the name for their new line of Joey Tensley signature wines, a name that perfectly reflects the brand's philosophy. They strive to create fundamentally solid, uncomplicated wines that offer unparalleled value. Thanks to their partnership with Vintage Wine Estates, this dream has become a reality.
The Fundamental Joey Tensley Pinot Noir is an exceptional wine, born from one of the finest Pinot Noir vintages ever. The cooler, temperate summer of 2021 resulted in a wine that is bright in acidity but has had ample time in the vineyard to develop color and power. The majority of the Pinot Noir grapes come from the renowned St. Rita region, giving the wine a beautiful red fruit component. At the same time, the Santa Maria fruit provides an unmistakably savory California Pinot Noir nose. The wine is complex enough to be thought-provoking, yet easy to drink.
Every sip of the Fundamental Joey Tensley Pinot Noir is a treat. This wine is wonderfully full-bodied and powerful, with traditional Pinot Noir flavors like red fruit and a subtle hint of oak. It's a versatile wine that pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, from a light salad to a hearty steak. The Fundamental Joey Tensley Pinot Noir is not only a pleasure to drink but also a wonderful addition to a wide range of culinary creations.
