Tasting Notes

This debut bottling of our Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir highlights the distinctive terroir of this highly regarded appellation. The 2024 vintage offers youthful aromas of ripe black cherries, red currants, and a subtle hint of earthy soil, seamlessly layered with toasty oak spice, featuring notes of baked cinnamon and toasted brioche. Supple, rounded tannins and bright, juicy acidity keep the wine perfectly balanced from start to finish.
