2005 Pinot Noir Santa Lucia Highlands

This particular offering from the Tondre Grapefield, has a remarkable fruity nose that keeps you coming back for
more; tart red cherries, black cherries, hints for raspberries and blackberries can be found in abundance. Subtle oak
tones support rather than dominate both the nose and the palate, lending to a very pleasant mid-palate mouthfeel.
The Santa Lucia Highlands AVA comes shining through, showing its typical floral and spicy characteristics that set
this appellation apart from all others.
