2014 Lucia Pinot Noir Soberanes Vineyard

This site, which was planted in 2006, continues to impress and the 2014 Pinot Noir Soberanes Vineyard is a beauty. Offering a killer bouquet of black raspberry, cassis, crushed flowers and incense, this deep ruby/purple and translucent colored 2014 is medium to full-bodied, has beautiful purity, integrated acidity and a seamless, elegant style that makes it already hard to resist.

Limpid ruby-red. High-pitched raspberry and candied rose scents are complicated by suggestions of smoky minerals, cola and Asian spices. Juicy, concentrated and pure, offering palate-staining red fruit and spicecake flavors enlivened by a refreshingly bitter hint of blood orange. Gains weight with air and finishes extremely long, displaying a repeating mineral note and supple, even tannins that fold effortlessly into the lush fruit.
