WINE 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.

TASTING NOTES:
Mulberry
Cedar
Graphite
The focus of our Pinot Noir leans away from primary fruit. Instead, each sip highlights characteristics brought forth by mindful winemaking practices. Aromas of oak and sassafras mingle with dark chocolate on the nose. The palate presents rich flavors of mulberry, cedar, and graphite supported by a firm tannic structure.
