Sierra Mar Vineyard Pinot Noir
Santa Lucia Highlands, Central Coast, California, USA
Deep, brilliant scarlet. A complex, expressively perfumed bouquet evokes spice-tinged red and blue fruits, exotic spices and potpourri, along with a deeper cola nuance and a hint of smoky minerality. Energetic and seamless on the palate, offering finely etched raspberry, boysenberry, lavender pastille and spicecake flavors underscored by a vein of juicy acidity. Finishes extremely long and spicy, with polished tannins and resonating floral and berry notes. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, October 2020)

Very good example of a Burgundian Pinot. 91. I prefer a fuller Sonoma type Pinot.

Aromatic nose of strawberries, dried herbs, a bit of orange zest, wet soil. Palate is smooth and balanced, light entrance and tannins, medium acidity and warm finish afterwards.
