RATINGS

95Vinous / IWC

Savory notes of tobacco, turned earth, rose petals and cedar... Tart, bright and assertively structured, this is not at all a shy wine in build. Layers of crunchy cranberry and rhubarb fruit join with a core of sweet floral and spice tones.

95Wine Enthusiast

Rounded aromas of strawberry, raspberry, rose potpourri and lavender make for an elegant and fascinating nose. The palate is also elegant, lovely and layered in flavors of red fruit and flower, with hints of purple and blue as well. A pinch of herbs finishes the experience.

95Jeb Dunnuck

...pretty, perfumed, floral nose that's grounded by mostly red fruits. Mint, sappy herbs, violets, and a hint of sassafras give it plenty of complexity, and it's medium to full-bodied, has a supple, elegant mouthfeel, a good sense of freshness, and soft tannins.

16+ Jancis Robinson

A wallop of oak on the nose – intense vanilla and a bit of coconut sweetness. Chewy texture with fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity.

REGION

United States, California, Central Coast, Monterey, 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.
