The 2021 Double L Pinot Noir is rich yet energetic. Aromas of wild cherry, christmas spice, and rose petal are supported on the palate by black plum, savory spices, and forest floor.
Located in the well-drained foothills above the Salinas Valley, the Santa Lucia Highlands Appellation is California’s most distinctive region for growing terroirdriven wines.
The 2021 growing season commenced with budbreak in mid-March after a cold, dry winter. Very windy conditions during flowering led to below average fruit set. Classically cool Monterey temperatures continued throughout the growing season, punctuated by brief heat waves that moved ripening along.
Pairs well with duck confit or prime rib
