2004 Pinot Noir
Santa Lucia Highlands
This wine is a testament to the cool climate and terroir of the Santa Lucia Highlands, a prime growing
region for Pinot Noir. Its spicy character, typical of this appellation, is coupled with an amazing depth
of tart red cherry fruit. This wine was aged 16 months in tight-grained Hungarian oak, a barrel choice
that complements rather than dominates the delicate Pinot Noir fruit and produces a smooth, silky
mouthfeel. The palate is well structured, with rich, gorgeous colour and smooth tannins to ensure ageability.
Nose: Complex, with red and black fruits, licorice and a hint of oak.
Palate: Spicy, with an amazing depth of tart red cherry fruit, enhanced by some earthiness. Finishes
clean and fresh. Balanced.
