1772

Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir

Tolosa 1772, a captivating Pinot Noir from the renowned Santa Lucia Highlands region, showcases a harmonious blend of flavors and aromas. This red wine exudes elegance and complexity with a medium body that gracefully carries the fruit-forward profile of ripe cherries, red berries, and subtle earthy undertones. The acidity is balanced, providing a refreshing touch that accentuates the wine's silky texture. Tannins are present but soft, adding a gentle structure to the overall experience. The dryness level of Tolosa 1772 complements its fruit intensity beautifully, culminating in a well-rounded and sophisticated expression of Pinot Noir craftsmanship.

Region:


Santa Lucia Highlands

Nestled in the foothills of the Santa Lucia Mountains, this small but mighty area was recognized for the quality of its terroir and became an AVA in 1991. Cooled by Pacific Ocean fogs and strong Monterey Bay coastal breezes, the sunny vineyards here enjoy one of the longest growing seasons in the region. Some regard its powerful Pinot Noir and deeply flavored Chardonnay as among the best California has to offer. And if you want to look beyond classic Burgundy grapes, try Santa Lucia Highland's intriguing Northern Rhône-inspired Syrah.
