Description

Monterey's famed Santa Lucia Highlands are best known for producing hedonistic, rich pinot noir with lots of intrigue. This blend of several stellar vineyards doesn't disappoint, exhibiting black plum, baked cherry pie and dried herbs in the nose. The palate pulls you in with its rich texture, offering layers of dark fruit and spice, culminating in a lengthy finish bound for BBQ and duck breast alike.

This red wine has aromas of cranberry, raspberry, clay, and nori. Weighty tannin up front, followed by bright acidity and tart cherry and dark fruit complement the juicy texture of the mid-palate.

RECENT TASTING NOTES
The 2023 Pinot Noir is defined more by acidity than tannin, displaying an elegantly light, bright and broadly appealing degree of freshness and breadth. A little more whole-cluster fermentation (15-20%) was used than in warmer vintages, adding spice and complexity. It should age well 5-7 years
