Deep red. A complex, assertively perfumed bouquet evokes ripe red fruits, candied flowers, cola, mocha and exotic spices. In a plush, accessible style, showing very good depth to the sweet black raspberry, cherry pie, vanilla and spicecake flavors. Tightens up on the long, smoky finish, which features well-knit tannins and repeating floral and spice notes.

Another gem is the 2017 Pinot Noir Sierra Mar Vineyard, which offers more blue fruits, wild strawberry, and forest floor notes as well as a concentrated, medium to full-bodied style on the palate. Layered, impeccably balanced, with beautiful length, it’s the real deal and a brilliant, brilliant Pinot Noir from the Santa Lucia Highlands.
