2018 Luli Pinot Noir Santa Lucia Highlands

Moving to the Pinot Noirs, there are three releases, all from the Santa Lucia Highlands. The appellation 2018 Pinot Noir Santa Lucia Highlands offers a medium ruby, almost opaque hue as well as a spicy, smoky bouquet of spiced strawberries, darker currants, underbrush, and brambly herbs. This carries to a medium-bodied, supple, beautifully textured, even seamless Pinot Noir that punches way above its humble price point. Enjoy bottles over the coming couple of years.
