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:
Baking Spice
Mocha
Black Cherry
Oak-influenced scents of baking spice and mocha serve as the aromatic introduction to our otherwise fruit-focused Pinot. The medium body features soft acid and structured tannins. Ripe black cherry and plum flavors linger on a concentrated palate for a plush and fruit-filled finish.
