Mer Soleil Reserve Pinot Noir 2019 is a wine crafted to perfection from the Santa Lucia Highlands, the prime location for growing Pinot Noir grapes. This Pinot Noir is a true expression of the terroir, with a beautiful garnet color and an enticing aroma of fresh berry basket, vanilla, and toasted oak. On the palate, the wine is delicate yet flavorful, with notes of ripe cherry, strawberry, and a hint of spice. The tannins are soft and silky, creating a velvety mouthfeel that is both elegant and balanced. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a pleasant aftertaste that lingers on the palate.
With delicate skins, this grape thrives in a moderate climate, and the cooling breezes blowing off of Monterey Bay create an environment that is ideal for its growth. The slow ripening process of the grapes allows the winemakers to create a wine of heightened complexity, which is showcased in every sip of this elegant wine.
