Exuberant fruit aromas and rich, layered flavors make this a big, full and juicy wine with loads of personality. Sourced from the Garys’ Vineyard and the Rosella’s and Sierra Mar vineyards, the wine has all the robust fruit and bright acidity of this elevated appellation. Drink or hold.

Score 94/100 · Drink 2025-2035, Jeb Dunnuck, Jun 2024
A deeper ruby color, the 2021 Pinot Noir Santa Lucia Highlands has a much riper profile but is equally pure, offering notes of black raspberry liqueur, violets, and darker minerals. It’s pure and ripe (but not overly ripe), with a good degree of intensity, and it’s silky in texture, with mixed berries and a wild character. It also has a great floral finish. Drink 2025-2035.
