    Winemaker Notes

    Santa Lucia Highlands is notable for its cooling fog and the afternoon breezes that sweep from Monterey Bay across the vineyards. Soil is Arroyo Seco Sandy Loam. This wine is produced from some of the most renowned vineyards in the appellation, including Rosella's Vineyard, which is owned and farmed by Gary and Rosella Franscioni. The growing season here is one of the longest in California, allowing for full flavor development on the vine. In the winery, whole cluster Pinot Noir was carefully pressed upon arrival at the winery. Fermentation initiated spontaneously in a combination of oak and stainless steel fermenters, followed by gravity racking to new and neutral French oak barrels for 10 months of aging, with elevage occurring in a gentle manner. The 2014 Noiro Pinot Noir possesses a brilliant dark ruby red color and very exotic aromas of damson plum, potpourri, melon, orange peel, and mulling spices. A burst of ripe cherry fruit flavors moves smoothly to secondary flavors of mandarin orange, framed by a complex oak spice note. Decidedly medium-bodied, with a lush mouthfeel, dusty tannins, and fresh acidity. The many layers of this rich wine emerge independently, then refocus, leading to a lingering, succulent finish.

    Thin-skinned, finicky and temperamental, Pinot Noir is also one of the most rewarding grapes to grow and remains a labor of love for some of the greatest vignerons in Burgundy. Fairly adaptable but highly reflective of the environment in which it is grown, Pinot Noir prefers a cool climate and requires low yields to achieve high quality. Outside of France, outstanding examples come from in Oregon, California and throughout specific locations in wine-producing world. Somm Secret—André Tchelistcheff, California’s most influential post-Prohibition winemaker decidedly stayed away from the grape, claiming “God made Cabernet. The Devil made Pinot Noir.”

    Perhaps the most highly regarded appellation within Monterey County, Santa Lucia Highlands AVA benefits from a combination of warm morning sunshine and brisk afternoon breezes, allowing grapes to ripen slowly and fully. The result is concentrated, flavorful wines that retain their natural acidity. Wineries here do not shy away from innovation, and place a high priority on sustainable viticultural practices.

    The climatic conditions here are perfectly suited to the production of ripe, rich Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. These Burgundian varieties dominate an overwhelming percentage of plantings, though growers have also found success with Syrah, Riesling and Pinot Gris.
