RATINGS

92Vinous / IWC

Highly perfumed dark berry liqueur, cola and floral pastille aromas show excellent clarity and spicecake and vanilla nuances. Sweet, seamless and expansive on the palate, offering intense blackberry, cherry cola and allspice flavors given lift and spine by juicy acidity. Strongly echoes the spice and floral notes on the finish, which is give shape by silky, slow-building tannins.

92Wine Enthusiast

Minerality is front and center...with concentrated pencil lead the focus, backed up by sandalwood and dried rose petals...palate offers ripe cranberries and buttered cherries...

91The Wine Advocate

...rock solid; it has lots of darker raspberry and cassis nuances to go with plenty of classic Pinot Noir spice and forest floor characteristics on the nose. Medium-bodied, elegant, classy and beautifully focused...

91Wine Spectator

A wine of substance, depth, richness and structure, with chalky, minerally tannins providing a nice framework for the taut red berry flavors. Shows touches of anise and red licorice. Ends clean.

REGION

United States, California, Central Coast, Santa Lucia Highlands

Santa Lucia Highlands AVA is a 12-mile long, narrow strip of an appellation wedged along the eastern hillsides of the Santa Lucia mountain range. Given its proximity to Big Sur and the Gabilan Mountain Range to the northeast, Santa Lucia a cool-climate wine growing district. Morning sun is often followed by maritime winds and fog in the afternoon, a weather pattern that prolongs the growing season and means long, gentle ripening of the grapes. Spanish missionaries planted vineyards in the district in the 18th century, but it wasn’t until the 1970s that modern winemakers planted vineyards and began making high quality wine. The district received AVA status in 1991 and today there are 6,000 vineyard acres in the Santa Lucia Highlands. Pinot Noir is the dominant grape planted, followed by Chardonnay and Riesling.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
