Roar Pinot Noir Santa Lucia Highlands 750mL
| Vintage: | 2021 |
|---|---|
| Description: | In the hills of California's Monterey County lies an area that grows some of the very best Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Syrah. This area is known as the Santa Lucia Highlands. Like many other famed grape growing regions of the state, what once was known for orchards and vegetables farms has become heralded for their grapes, and Roar's Franscioni family is regarded as having one of the top vineyards in the area. In fact, the Franscioni's Rosella's and Sierra Mar Vineyards are in such demand, due to the stellar quality of fruit pulled off the vines, that the finished wines command prices similar to what is found in the Russian River Valley!. A blend of clones 23, 667, 777, Calera, Pisoni, Pommard, and Swan, this wine is fruit-driven and wrapped in leather and sagebrush, this blend melds elements from all of family's vineyards. This approachable Pinot integrates the best of north and south within the Santa Lucia Highlands. Jeb Dunnuck 93 Points - "Moving to the Pinot Noirs, the base 2021 Pinot Noir Santa Lucia Highlands is smoking good, with a beautiful, Chambolle-like perfume of redcurrants, spring flowers, spice, and hints of tea and forest floor. Medium-bodied, it has a supple, elegant texture, a more focused, savory mouthfeel, fine tannins, and a great finish. It's a classic, balanced, incredibly impressive Pinot Noir to drink over the coming 7-8 years, and I suspect it will evolve even longer." |
