Highlands Forty One
Monterey County Pinot Noir
Monterey County, Central Coast, California, USA
This Monterey County Pinot Noir is fairly dark and very fragrant in the glass. Aromas of black cherry, black tea, licorice and cinnamon put together the kind of display that makes me think of the holidays. Dark fruit dominates the palate, and a full set of tannins accompany the juicy sip. The Los Angeles-based Riboli family recommends pairing their Highlands 41 Pinot with grilled sausage, pasta primavera, baked salmon or roasted duck. I would toss in turkey and ham as excellent pairings. I had mine with lemon and honey Wensleydale cheese, and it was beautiful.

This is not a pinot noir !!! This is Highlands 41 Black Granite from Paso Robles 2020!!!!!! Bouquet is Violets and dandelions. The color is definitely black opaque midnight darkness!!!! Initial palate is Black raspberry, blackberry, boysenberry bursting in the mouth. there’s also some pomegranate in there. After the swallow comes an amazing explosion of oak granite graphite and pepper. Hence the name which is absolutely perfect for this wine. Black Granite. I have a black granite countertop in my office and if I could taste it it would taste just like this!!!!! The finish is so incredibly smooth. There’s definitely chocolate vanilla and black cherry. The finish is dry leaving you thirsting for more! This is almost a perfect wine. I would buy two cases of this if My wife wouldn’t kill me! I suggest you contact highlands41.com and order this today before I buy them all out!

Opens with dark red fruit on the palate. Lacks complexity in the middle and finish but easy and smooth. The lack of complex flavors make it a good everyday drinker.

Pleasantly medium bodied, mushroomy, and strawberries in the throat. Not too dry. Touch of grass.
