Saveria Vineyard

2009 Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir

The 2009 Cumbre Of Vine Hill Saveria Vineyard Pinot Noir offers a delightful experience that embodies the essence of the Santa Cruz Mountains. This beautifully crafted red wine showcases a medium-bodied structure, which is elegantly balanced by its bright acidity, imparting a refreshing quality that is genuinely uplifting. The fruit intensity is prominent, with lovely notes of ripe red cherries and sweet strawberries, enriched by subtle hints of earthiness and spice that provide depth. The tannins are soft and supple, allowing the wine to glide smoothly across the palate, culminating in a long, satisfying finish. True to the characteristics of the region, this Pinot Noir presents a delightful complexity while remaining approachable, making it an excellent choice for various occasions.

Central Coast
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.
