2015 Morgan Rosella’s Vineyard Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir

14.4% alc., pH 3.43, TA 0.68, 62 cases, $64. “Pisoni clone” and Dijon 777. Aged 10 months in French oak barrels, 50% new. · Moderately light ruby red color in the glass. Plenty of interest in this wine that is typical of this vineyard. The perfume of red cherry, violets, green tobacco and baking spices are attractive. Light to mid weight in style, the wine offers a delightful mix of well-spiced red fruits with a notable candied cherry character. Elegant, with a cashmere texture, juicy acidity, and a compliment of tobacco oak in the background. Score: 93. Reviewed September 24, 2017
