The Chalone Wine Group created the Echelon brand in 1997 to offer a range of inexpensive wines to complement Chalone's single-vineyard bottlings. This Pinot Noir certainly tastes much better than its price would have you believe. With fruit coming mainly from growers in the cool-climate Santa Lucia Highlands above California's Salinas Valley, the wine is packed with sweet strawberry and cherry flavors, layers of wood, and soft tannins.
