Country: US / Lucia Highlands Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Pessagno / Santa Lucia Highlands
This sturdy, full-bodied Pinot could almost be a Grenache, it’s so big and strong. Yet, strangely, there’s a silky elegance that tells you it’s Santa Lucia-style Pinot. Offers waves of raspberries and cherries and oranges, brightened with zesty acidity. A considerable value given the producer and origin.
