Avaline, a California-based winemaker co-founded by Cameron Diaz and Katherine Power, has announced the launch of a specialty 'Pinot Noir' produced in California.
The new light-bodied wine presents notes of wild plum and roasted strawberries, creating a flavor that pairs incredibly well with the Autumn season. “Our goal this fall with Pinot Noir and Red is to bring our community together over wines made for any occasion," said Katherine Power in a recent press release.
To produce the delicately flavored wine, Avaline partnered with Porter Creek Vineyards and EthicDrinks, two brand's known for their sustainable production practices. Porter Creek Vineyards is a CCOF certified vineyard and family-run winery based in the Russian River Valley of Sonoma County. By teaming up with the winery, Avaline has launched its first-ever wine produced in native California.
