One bottle of 2019 Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir from Landmark Vineyards

The 2019 Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir bottling represents our eighth vintage working hand in hand with our grower partners and is once again defined by their commitment to achieving the highest-quality fruit from vintage to vintage. A long growing season, slow fruit maturation, and night hand-harvesting at ideal ripeness allow Landmark to craft a wine of exceptional balance, structure, quality, and longevity.

Tasting notes
Medium purple/ruby with aromas of ripe cherry and plum with baking spice, leather, and freshly roasted coffee notes. The palate is dry, nearly full-bodied, with ripe black fruit, vanilla, and cinnamon spice on entry. Toasted oak, leather, and autumn leaf with sustained ripe black fruit on the midpalate. The finish is moderately long with balanced acidity and mouth-filling tannins that balance the generous fruit intensity of this wine nicely.
