Mer Soleil named after the two forces of nature – “the sea and sun.” Grapes sourced from vineyards in the southern and middle areas of Santa Lucia Highlands, deep Ruby with youthful aromas of red fruits and smoky pepper spice. On the palate flavors of cranberry, raspberry and cherry with toasty baking spice, savory, good mouthfeel. Medium+ finish, fine tannins well integrated ending with fruit and a toasty spice character.

Nose is rhubarb pie, cinnamon, American oak, and eucalyptus. More oak, rhubarb and cinnamon on the palate along with bright cherry. Low tannins, sky high alcohol, and high acid. Too damn hot. Note to SLH wineries, pinot noir simply can’t sustain alcohol levels this high. Please stop it.

We had the 2017 Vintage on 5/21-22/21. This is a fruit forward CA PN. Certainly darker in color and taste compared to Sonoma or Oregon. Tastes of black cherry, candied raspberry and a touch of cocoa. A smooth finish to a wine with good value.
