"Rustic aromas of cherry, cranberry and cinnamon candy are dusted with earth tones on the nose of this wine. The palate is elegantly layered in a tense texture as flavors of pomegranate, alpine strawberry, sagebrush and chipped oak work into a delicious display."
About This Wine
Perched high on a windy, sandy, rocky outcropping in the Southern end of the Santa Lucia Highlands, Sierra Mar produced a lively, dark fruited Pinot Noir in 2022. An intriguing clonal mix of 23, 777 and Pisoni Selection make for a Pinot Noir scented with black plum, licorice, and sandalwood. Once sipped, flavors of black cherry, blackberry paste, and mocha carry through the finish – a Pinot Noir that is equally dark fruited, yet light on its feet.
