2018 McIntyre Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir

14.4% alc., pH 3.72, TA 0.62, 1,561 cases, $28. A combination of Swan clone from Escolle Road Vineyard and clone 115 and “Old Vine” selection from the Estate Vineyard. Indigenous yeast fermentations. · Light garnet color in the glass. Enticing scents of cherry, white pepper and brown spices. Lighter in weight but with a redeeming impression of red cherry and red berry fruit flavors. Nicely composed in a carefree style with good crispness. An excellent daily drinker for the dinner table. Score: 90. Reviewed July 24, 2022
