NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Siduri Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir is an exquisite tapestry of red and dark berry flavors, woven with hints of spice and earthy undertones.In the glass, a rich garnet hue is followed by aromas of ripe strawberries, cherries, and a touch of vanilla and clove. On the palate, it delivers a supple texture with a core of raspberry and blackberry, framed by silky tannins and a whisper of oak. This Pinot Noir carries the cool sophistication of its origin, culminating in a lengthy finish that echoes with notes of dark chocolate and a dash of cinnamon. It’s an elegant companion to a variety of dishes, from herb-crusted lamb to a simple charcuterie board.

ORIGINS
Winery: Siduri
Region: Central Coast California
The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States.
The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.CUSTOMER RATING
