Imagery Estate Winery Pinot Noir, Red Wine, 750ml

Imagery is precise about one thing: where it lives. The winery lists its estate at 14335 Highway 12 in Glen Ellen, California, down to the street number. The growing region behind this particular Pinot Noir is not something we have confirmed. Pinot Noir itself is a thin-skinned red grape, used for still wine and, in many traditional-method sparkling wines, as one of the base grapes.

Regional category guides tend to sketch Pinot Noir with red cherry, berry and plum, lighter in color and lower in tannin than Cabernet, and they add that site and ripeness can pull it toward bright and delicate or toward dark and full. We do not have a shopper rating for this wine, and its price ranged from $13.99 to $22.99 across our September 2026 checks. Where this bottle falls in that guide range, from bright and delicate to dark and full, is not something we can confirm.

Imagery's own product page for the 2023 vintage describes the wine as light ruby with a “delicate, translucent rim,” its aroma led by “jammy strawberry, cherry and raspberry.” On the palate, the producer says those fruit flavors are “enriched by well-integrated oak” into a wine that is “rich and complex with soft tannins and a long-layered finish,” the producer's words; that combination, a pale, light-bodied color paired with a fuller, oak-touched palate, sits toward the richer end of the range regional guides describe for the grape. The producer's technical sheet for this specific bottling could not be retrieved, so no alcohol percentage is confirmed for this wine; unlike its Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay siblings, which both publish alcohol figures we could confirm, this Pinot Noir's alcohol level remains an open gap in our record.

Our call: worth trying if the producer's own tasting notes, jammy red fruit balanced by well-integrated oak, sound like your style; Imagery describes the wine in enough detail to give a real sense of what is in the glass. Pass if you read technical sheets before buying; unlike its Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay siblings, this Pinot Noir's alcohol percentage has not surfaced anywhere in our record, and no shopper rating has reached us either.
