Wine Review: This slightly cloudy and dark red Pinot Noir from the Santa Lucia Highlands opens with a very fragrant ripe red raspberry bouquet with hints of pomegranate and strawberry. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, balanced and has a nice round mouthfeel. The flavor profile is a tasty red plum and mild red raspberry blend with very nicely integrated mild oak and cola. The finish is dry and its mild tannins and flavors fade away nicely. This Pinot is very food and would pair well with cherry amaretto chicken. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Our 2013 SLH is an elegant wine crafted from exceptional fruit. A complex blend of Pinot Noir clones 777, Pommard and Calera, it epitomizes the voluptuous side of Pinot Noir. A seductive nose of ripe raspberry and black cherry unfold into dark fruit flavors, warm baking spices, and a long, luxurious finish.
