Wine Expert Note:

Bernardus Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir is an exceptional wine that showcases the unique characteristics of the Santa Lucia Highlands region. This Pinot Noir offers a beautiful balance of fruit, acidity, and tannins, creating a harmonious and elegant profile. On the nose, you can expect enticing aromas of ripe red berries, such as cherry and raspberry, accompanied by subtle floral notes and a touch of spice. These aromatics continue to unfold on the palate, where the fruit flavors are complemented by hints of earthiness and a delicate oak influence. The wine's medium body and silky texture make it a pleasure to drink, with well-integrated tannins providing structure and a lingering finish. It is a wine that can be enjoyed now, but also has the potential to age gracefully, allowing the flavors to further develop and evolve. Bernardus Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes, including roasted poultry, grilled salmon, or mushroom risotto.
