A product of the storied Santa Lucia Highlands AVA, arguably California’s greatest Pinot Noir producing growing area. The Santa Lucia Highlands were planted with grapes by Franciscan missionaries in the 1790s, but not approved as an AVA until 1991. The terroir, Escolle Vineyard, was planted in 2008 using 11 Pinot Noir clones on five different rootstocks at an altitude between 200-300 feet.
The nose contains cherry, raspberry, honeysuckle and cigar smoke which blend together in perfect harmony. Mouthfeel features cherry, herbs, black pepper, jasmine tea with a balanced acidity that evokes a smooth, velvety finish and texture. 100% Pinot Noir, aged eleven months in Boutes French Oak (33% new).
