The 2021 Pinot Noir Santa Lucia Highlands comes from Garys', Rosella's, Pisoni, Sierra Mar and Soberanes vineyards, and it was matured for 14 months in 49% new oak. It has a medium ruby color and a deep well of aromas: pomegranate, raspberry and cranberry are accented by touches of autumn leaves, tea leaves and spice. The palate is light-bodied, gently chalky and mouthwatering with generous spicy fruit and a long, layered finish replete with floral tones.

Open-knit, with a mix of black cherry and red currant fruit flavors, which have a gently mulled edge as this melds with light cola, singed mesquite and chaparral hints through the finish. Drink now through 2025. 2,100 cases made.??–JM??Region: California / Santa Lucia Highlands Select to Add
