Roar 2019 Pinot Noir Rosella Santa Lucia Highlands 95 Points

Jeb Dunnuck 94+ Points: “From a cooler site in the middle of the appellation, the 2019 Pinot Noir Rosella’s Vineyard has an up-front, juicy, perfumed nose of cranberries, tart strawberries, wildflowers, and orange herbal tea. It’s more medium-bodied on the palate and has slightly more acidity, but the balance is spot on, and it has terrific underlying structure as well as outstanding length. It will cruise for a solid decade or so in cold cellars.”

Wine Enthusiast 95 Points: “Mace and cherry compote aromas are clean and opulent on the nose of this bottling. There is a great sense of cohesion on the tense palate, with rich red fruits that are dusted in sagebrush and red licorice, and washed clean with a blast of acidity.”
