Description

About Mark West

Mark West was founded in 1978 with one desire – to craft remarkable Pinot Noir that delivers exceptional quality at an affordable price. Our name, Mark West, is an ode to a region in the heart of Sonoma county, one of the world’s best places to grow Pinot Noir. It was here that we started our winery and our passion for Pinot.

California Wines

California wine production has a rich viticulture history since 1680 when Spanish Jesuit missionaries planted Vitis vinifera vines native to the Mediterranean region in their established missions to produce wine for religious services. In the 1770s, Spanish missionaries continued the practice under the direction of the Father Junípero Serra planted California’s first vineyard at Mission San Juan Capistrano.

The state produces about ninety percent of the American wine supply and is the fourth largest wine producer among the world’s independent nations. It has more than 1,200 wineries ranging from home-grown and small boutiques to large corporations with international distribution.

Our deepest, darkest, smoothest wine, Mark West Black is 81% Pinot Noir, 19% Syrah. This concentrated ruby red wine is full-bodied, rich and smooth, with hints of black cherries and plums, mocha, vanilla, and caramel. Black fruit flavors add a sophisticated, elegant palate to this luxurious wine with a plush finish.
