August West Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir 2017

Superstar winemaker Ed Kurtzman explores two appellations and three varietals to produce these stunning wines. 94 Points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "Brilliant red. Highly expressive aromas of fresh red fruits, potpourri, exotic spices and succulent herbs. Juicy and seamless in texture, offering palate-staining strawberry, cherry liqueur, rose pastille and spicecake flavors that are highlighted by a smoky mineral flourish. Densely packed and sharply delineated, with a strikingly long, perfumed finish that delivers nervy mineral cut and resonating floral and spice character. This wine's elegant character is pretty bewitching, and it must be one of the best examples of winemaker Ed Kurtzman's extensive and noteworthy body of work that I can recall."
