Excellence Pinot Noir
A soft everyday Pinot Noir from a small label we carry.
The story behind Excellence
Pinot Noir is the thin skinned red that made Burgundy famous, and it is grown with real success on the North Fork and across cool coastal sites. The style tends to be lighter in color and body than Cabernet or Merlot, with red cherry, cranberry and a soft earthy note, and gentle tannins that keep it easy to drink with dinner.
We stock Excellence Pinot Noir in Commack in small quantity, one to two bottles at a time, alongside an Excellence Sauvignon at the same price. Ask us at the counter and we will tell you what is on the shelf that day.

Which Excellence is right for you?
Both Excellence bottles sit at 9.99, which is honest everyday drinking money. The Pinot Noir gives you a lighter red for weeknight dinners, and the Sauvignon gives you a crisp white to keep cold in the fridge. At this price we stock them in ones and twos, so call ahead to confirm what is on the shelf.
Light red that suits roast chicken, mushrooms and tomato sauces.
