Score 92/100 · Drink 2024-2028, Matthew Luczy, Wine Advocate, Oct 2024

As with the regional Chardonnay bottling, the 2022 Pinot Noir Santa Lucia Highlands punches well above its weight and offers a more slender, stylistically refreshing expression of Pinot Noir with less of a winemaking imprint. The nose is high-toned and energetic, offering the signature red-fruited profile typical to this lineup. The palate is slender within the context of the house style, with a soft, elegantly saturated finish and a pleasant touch of tannic grip.

The 2022 Pinot Noir Santa Lucia Highlands is a terrific representation of the appellation. It’s fruit-forward and textured, with ripe cherry and redcurrant fruit as well as some spicy wood and dried flower notes. This medium-bodied, round, supple, sexy 2022 is perfect for drinking over the coming 4-6 years or so.

Medium in body, fresh and driven, the 2022 Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands) is pretty forward in its red-fruited profile, but it also possesses a core of stern, rocky minerality. An enticing air of highlands herbs and sweet lavender adds further intrigue. Juicy, sweet raspberry, clove and a kick of toasty French oak sweetness make the 2022 an inviting choice for drinking over the next several years.
