"Savory cherries, dried herbs, spices, and hints ofiron all emerge from the 2021 Pinot Noir Sierra Mar Vineyard, a medium-bodied, concentrated, wonderfully balanced, elegant Pinot Noir. It shows the cooler, elegant style of the vintage and is wellworth seeking out."
About This Wine
Sierra Mar is always a little slow at the start of the growing season but matures at a quicker rate than most of our vineyards due to its location on the southernmost site in Santa Lucia Highlands. One of the most picturesque sites in the Siduri lineup, the high elevation and cooling winds create wines with dark, brambly fruit notes with a more broad-textured, grippy mouthfeel. The boysenberry, black cherry and incense aromatics offer up a beautiful snapshot of the mild growing season of 2021 in Sierra Mar.
