Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir Wine Details
Price: $43.00 per bottle

Description: The 2004 growing season was beset with wild temperature swings. As harvest began, a high pressure system set in resulting in higher than usual temps. This sparked a rapid rise in sugar and some concern about dehydration. Still, focusing on flavours, we decided to wait until the grapes were fully developed. We were rewarded with a well rounded wine loaded with bright red cherry fruit with the typical Santa Lucia Highlands appellation spice at its core. The 2004 has a medium to full body character. Although soft and supple mouth feel makes it a very drinkable wine now, it will, as always improve with age.
