Stunningly pure in its infancy, the 2018 Lucia Pinot Noir barely contains
its concentrated notes of raspberry, black cherry, and red currant but rather
fills the air immediately as this wine splashes into the glass. Red berry
flavors hidden within a shimmering ruby core give way to secondary notes of
spiced plum, sage, and baking spice, adding extraordinary complexity to an
already multi-dimensional wine. Hailing from three estate vineyards (41%
Garys’, 32% Pisoni, and 27% Soberanes), this wine combines the best qualities
of each site, staying true to the
fog-laden slopes of the Santa Lucia Highlands from which it derives. Its
concentration, complexity, and structure
will stand the test of time.
