Lead Vocals

2014 Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir

Timbre Winery's Lead Vocals, a beautiful expression of Pinot Noir from the esteemed Santa Maria Valley, captivates the senses with its radiant red hue. This 2014 vintage showcases a medium-bodied profile, offering a delightful balance of elegance and depth. The acidity is bright and refreshing, perfectly complementing the prominent fruit intensity that unfolds with layers of cherry, raspberry, and subtle hints of earthiness. Tannins are finely structured, providing a soft, silky mouthfeel that seamlessly enhances the wine's complexity. As a dry wine, Lead Vocals embraces a harmonious finish that invites another sip, making it a superb choice for both casual enjoyment and special occasions.

Region:

Central Coast

California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
