The 2022 Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir is a velvety red wine grown in the cool-climate winemaking regions of California. This wine offers a bouquet of crushed black cherry and plum with accents of allspice and spicy vanilla. This wine is rich on the palate with a touch of star anise on the finish.

The Santa Lucia Highlands collection captures the minerality, beautiful aromatics and bright acidity that the coastal region is famous for producing. The grapes for this wine were harvested during the cool mornings and destemmed into open-top stainless steel tanks, cold soaked and fermented on the skins for 10 days. The wine was aged in French oak barrels for 14 months.

Wine Spectator Review:
This offers a succulent feel, showing sappy kirsch and raspberry paste notes streaked with savory and red tea, with a sandalwood hint through the lengthy finish. Drink now through 2029. 5,317 cases made.
