DESCRIPTION
With its idyllic growing conditions, the Santa Lucia Highlands appellation has become one of California’s premier spots for rich, silky and vibrant Pinot Noir. Lot 227 is an incredible deal from this well-regarded region, available in highly limited quantities.
The coastal climate of Santa Lucia Highlands provides the ideal environment for growing Pinot Noir. Cool winds stirred from the depths of the Monterey Bay funnel through the Salinas Valley, enhancing flavors and freshness of delectable Pinot Noir grapes. Evening fog protects the grapes, leading to long growing seasons that allow the development of full, phenolic ripeness. The resulting wine is complex, with an intense aroma, savory acidity, and bright fruit flavors.
TASTING NOTES
Bright, ruby color. Complex and intense nose of mulled black cherry, plums and raspberries, rounded out with nuances of allspice and tea. Savory acidity balances the fruit and spices for a lip-smacking experience.
