Rombauer Pinot Noir Santa Lucia Highlands 2023
After years of customers asking for a Rombauer Pinot Noir, we are thrilled with our Santa Lucia Highlands vintage. We tasted examples from appellations up and down the west coast, ultimately identifying the Santa Lucia Highlands AVA in Monterey County as the premier region for Pinot Noir.
Tasting Notes
You will find our Rombauer Pinot Noir to be rich and silky, with vibrant red fruit flavors, subtle notes of earthiness, and warm spice all finding expression in this beautifully balanced wine.
Critical Acclaim Jeb Dunnuck - 94 Points
Coming from some top sites in the appellation and the first vintage for this cuvée, the Pinot Noir reveals a translucent ruby hue to
go with a great perfume of red cherries, mulberries, Asian spice, sappy flowers, and some background herbal nuances. Beautiful on
the palate as well, it's medium-bodied, has a silky, seamless texture, terrific balance, and a great finish. It shows the pure fruit character of
the appellation yet is complex, nuanced, and just impeccably done.
