"The 2012 Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands) is the most overt of the appellation wines. Dark red cherry, plum, spice, new leather and mint blossom as this textured Pinot show off its hugely inviting personality." -Antonio Galloni

"A beautiful effort that certainly competes with the single-vineyard releases, the 2012 Pinot Noir Santa Lucia Highlands offers up a gorgeous bouquet of black cherries, black raspberry, wild herbs, rose petal and Asian spice to go with a medium-bodied, layered, balanced and rich palate feel. Rounded, with solid richness and upfront fruit, this knockout Pinot Noir will drink nicely for over a decade." -Jeb Dunnuck

"Presents a rich, powerful display of blackberry, raspberry, spice and floral scents, with touches of smoky oak, anise and dusty earth and a long, persistent finish."
