2018 Mansfield-Dunne Peterson Vineyard Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir

14.7% alc., 168 cases, $65. Multiple clones. Aged 15 months in French oak barrels, 50% new. · Dark garnet color in the glass. A complex nose offers scents of black stone fruits, blueberry-pomegranate, tilled earth, sweet pipe tobacco and a hint of vanilla. Full-bodied and very charming with a plethora of boysenberry blackberry and allspice flavors. Velvety in the mouth, with very modest tannins and giving on the finish. Super rich and ripe but not at all jammy. Score: 93. Reviewed February 28, 2021
