Tasting notes
There are three single vineyards from the Santa Lucia Highlands. Looking first at the 2018 Pinot Noir Rosella’s Vineyard, it was mostly destemmed and brought up in 23% new barrels. Lifted notes of candied cherry and strawberry fruits, violets, spice, and sandalwood give way to a pure, focused Pinot Noir that has the freshness and vibrancy that always seems to be imparted by this site. It has a tighter, more backward style that will benefit from a year or three of bottle age.
