"A zesty version, with grip to the densely packed dark fruit and Asian spice flavors. Hints of dried juniper berry linger on the crisp finish." ~ Kim Marcus, Wine Spectator, 92 points
A beautifully refined Pinot Noir that both showcases the rich, mouth-filling fruit we are known for in California and an elegance and tannic structure second to none.
The Pinot Noir wines produced from Santa Lucia Highlands are often praised for their richness, silky texture, vibrant red fruit flavors, subtle earthiness and warm spice characteristics. Wine Spectator 93 points
Sun Chase Vineyard is known for its natural gap between the coastal range mountains and the inland valley. The hillsides of this vineyard sit 1,400 feet above the valley floor and receive ample sunlight. Balanced fruit, minerality and a lasting finish are hallmarks of this vibrant Pinot Noir.
