Mer Soleil - Pinot Noir - Monterey Country

Description

Overview: Forty minutes south of Monterey, California, the Santa Lucia Highlands is well-known as the perfect home for Pinot Noir. With delicate skins, this varietal thrives in a more moderate environment, with temperatures cooled by breezes blowing off of Monterey Bay. Slow ripening of the grapes enables us to make wine of heightened complexity, with layers of aromas and flavors including fresh berry basket, vanilla and toasted oak. 

Tasting Notes: Plum, cherry tarte, hint of cranberry, brown spice, and a touch of nutmeg. 

Pairing: Salted baked chicken with pureed potatoes

Points: 87, Wine Enthusiast

Format / ABV: 750 ml/14.8%
