Inaugural Pinot Noir release from Rombauer! Limited. The Rombauer 2021 Pinot Noir Santa Lucia Highlands has qromas of plum, cherry, and crushed cranberry are lifted and concentrated on the nose, complemented by light lavender notes and hints of spice. You will find this wine to be rich and silky, with vibrant red fruit flavors, subtle notes of earthiness, and warm spice all finding expression in this beautifully balanced wine. The finish builds on the back palate, a signature of all Rombauer wines. 94 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "Coming from some top sites in the appellation and the first vintage for this cuvée, the 2021 Pinot Noir reveals a translucent ruby hue to go with a great perfume of red cherries, mulberries, Asian spice, sappy flowers, and some background herbal nuances. Beautiful on the palate as well, it's medium-bodied, has a silky, seamless texture, terrific balance, and a great finish. It shows the pure fruit character of the appellation yet is complex, nuanced, and just impeccably done." 92 Points Wine Enthusiast: "Clean and fresh aromas of black raspberry are enlivened by cola and minty herb on the nose of this bottling, the first Pinot Noir by this well-known Chardonnay and Zinfandel producer. There's tannic heft to the palate and a persistent acidity that cuts through the plush strawberry and raspberry flavors. "
