The story

The story behind Four Virtues

Four Virtues is a California label built around a simple idea: take ripe, generous red fruit and rest it in bourbon barrels. The result is a Pinot Noir with the grape's soft cherry core wrapped in vanilla, caramel and a lick of sweet oak. It is not a delicate Burgundian style and it does not pretend to be. Think California sunshine meets a Kentucky cooperage.

We have carried this line long enough to know exactly who walks out with it. The Pinot Noir is the easy drinker of the group, the Cabernet brings more grip, and the Zinfandel is the boldest of the three. None of them are shy. If you like a red that tastes like dessert spices without actual sugar, Four Virtues earns its place on the shelf.

Good to know

Four Virtues questions, answered

What is Four Virtues Bourbon Pinot Noir?
It is a California Pinot Noir aged in bourbon barrels, which adds vanilla and caramel notes to the grape's cherry fruit. The style is softer and sweeter oaked than a classic Burgundy, and it is meant to drink young.
Does bourbon barrel aging make the wine stronger?
No. Barrel aging adds flavor, not proof. The spirit is gone from the barrel before the wine goes in, so Four Virtues Pinot Noir carries normal wine alcohol and only the vanilla and toast character of the oak.
Is Four Virtues Pinot Noir sweet?
It tastes sweet because of the oak, not because of sugar. The wine is dry, but vanilla and caramel from the barrel read as sweetness on the palate, which is why it pairs well with smoky and grilled food.
Can I get Four Virtues delivered or pick it up?
Yes. We offer same day or next day delivery across Nassau and Suffolk, free local delivery over $250, and free curbside pickup at our Commack store. Wine ships only to states where it is legal, confirmed at checkout.
How should I serve Four Virtues Pinot Noir?
Serve it slightly cool, around 60 degrees, in a wide glass so the oak does not overwhelm the fruit. It is ready to drink now and does not need cellaring, though a short decant will soften it.
