Our first Pinot Noir. This is a classic Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir from the Doctor's Vineyard. The vineyard is located on the western side of the Salinas River Valley in the Santa Lucia Highlands AVA.. The 194 acres of Pinot Noir are situated just above the fog line to take advantage of ripening morning sun. This well balanced, very aromatic Pinot presents itself in multiple layers, featuring spicy notes with currant and red cherry undertones. The wine has a silky finish with hints of oak and soft tannins.

Eaglepoint Ranch Vineyard, Mendocino

Opaque purple color. Dense, fairly closed aromas reveal a hint of blueberry compote, cocoa, and beeswax. A big round entry leads to a fruity-yet-dry medium-full body with tangy blackberry fruit and zesty baking spices. Finishes in a vibrant fine, chewy fruit tannin fade with zesty cranberry and citrus like acidity. A spot on, table friendly Petite Sirah that will do nicely with spicy Latin beef dishes, steak, or even dark chocolate!.
