DESCRIPTION

Sierra Mar is one of the highest altitude vineyards in the Santa Lucia Highlands. Its elevation paired with thin soils produces low yields of intense fruit. Winemakers Adam Lee and Matt Revelette used a bit of whole cluster grapes in the blend to create tiers of flavor. Aromas of rose petals, cranberry, raspberry and sandalwood evolve on the palate into a creamy, soft sip with plum and mulberry fruit. Another glass? Yes, please.

"
Aromas of minerals, star anise and cherry pits start off tightly wound and benefit from a bit of air. This is a wine of excellent posture, with a slate-like spine carrying brambleberries, mixed cherries and tilled earth. Minerals and pressed violets in the long, tense finish. Drink or hold."

Santa Lucia Highlands

WINDY, SANDY, AND ROCKY FOOTHILLS

Winemaker’s Favorite Aspect:

The wind shortens the daytime high temps and holds the acid in the fruit amazingly well.

Climate:

Windy – brief daytime highs shrouded in fog in the mornings and evenings from the Monterey Bay

Regional Overview:

Santa Lucia Highlands sits at the nexus of ripe flavors with weight and soft tannins but still has an electric undercurrent of acidity due to the long hang time. It’s an awesome new-world flavor profile that doesn’t sacrifice acid and freshness at all.

FOOD PAIRINGS:

I really love pulled pork sliders and SLH Pinot Noirs, it’s a relatively simple dish but the acid and weight that SLH Pinot Noirs possess really compliment the richness of the pulled pork. It’s a great dish in the smoker during the summer or with a slow cooker in the winter.
