Royal Prince Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot 2019

An elegant cool-climate Pinot Noir from California's acclaimed Santa Lucia Highlands. Aromas of Bing cherry, raspberry, wild mint, and subtle floral notes lead into layers of red fruit, savory spice, mineral complexity, and a refined, silky finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs best with roasted duck, grilled salmon, mushroom risotto, herb-roasted chicken, pork tenderloin, and soft cheeses.

Moving to the two reds, the 2019 Pinot Noir comes from a cooler region south of Monterey. Its ruby/plum hue gives way to a spicy, more savory Pinot Noir with plenty of darker berry and cherry fruits, notes of dried earth, spice, and damp forest floor, ripe, velvety tannins, and a great finish. This savory, meaty, complex Pinot Noir will keep nicely for 3-4 years.
