Description
In a nutshell:
An exceptionally well made Californian Pinot Noir from the Santa Lucia Highlands in Monterey.
The lowdown:
The Monterey region, south of the San Francisco Bay area, where this comes from, is sometimes call California's 'salad bowl'. There's also quite a few vineyards around there as well of which Pisoni have some of the best. Their 'Lucia' label wines are made from a blend of their three vineyards, Pisoni, Soberanes and Gary's, in the cool climate Santa Lucia Highlands perched above the Salinas Valley. These wines are pretty sought after and only a few dozen bottles of the Pinot make it to the UK each year. Exceptionally well made, it has wild strawberry, lavender and rose petal aromas and elegantly ripe red cherry, pomegranate and raspberry flavours accompanied by a touch of forest floor earthiness and hint of sweet spice. A velvety palate, gentle tannins and a sustained length coupled with a wonderful freshness all result in a very accomplished wine.
When to drink:
With its deep, ripe flavours this is a good match with the likes of duck, pork, salmon and tuna dishes.
