Research record
Verdict Butter Zero's Pinot Noir is an alcohol-removed California red: bright cherry and red berry with a smooth finish at <0.5% ABV. A thin but deeply structured alcohol-removed Pinot Noir, with dark red fruit, pronounced tannin, real depth, and a finish that keeps going. Research record

Likeness Pinot in the fruit, not in the frame. Bright cherry and red berry sit on a thin body, and the close is smooth and brief. It reads as light red wine until the weight drops out. The frame is thinner than a traditional Pinot Noir, but the aroma, tannin, dark fruit, and persistent finish make this one of the more convincing alcohol-free reds. Research record
