Roar 2023 Pinot Noir SLH Santa Lucia Highlands 93 Points

Winery Tasting Notes: “This Santa Lucia Highlands blend captures the essence of the appellation, sourced from vineyards spanning 12 miles from the cool north to the warmer south. Aromas of luscious vanilla, leather, and chaparral are matched on the rich palate as it builds with blackberry, and hints of Piccholine olive and black licorice. The long, creamy finish showcases
cherry candy and a touch of cinnamon spice. Bright acidity and supple tannins complete this balanced and expressive wine. ”

Jeb Dunnuck 93 Points: “Bright red fruits, sassafras, minty herbs, and flowers define the 2023 Pinot Noir Santa Lucia Highlands. Pretty and pure, this medium-bodied effort shows considerable elegance, soft tannins, nicely integrated acidity, and a forward, charming, and delicious personality. Drink over the coming 4-6 years, if not longer.”
