2018 Miura Pinot Noir Santa Lucia Highlands
NVWE Notes: This is a surprisingly distinctive and complex appellation bottling. The nose counterpoints elegant scents of bottled red cherry, whortleberry, pink rose and pink peppercorn with minerality and smoky and savory accents. On the palate, bottled red cherry, wild cherry, grenadine, red apple skin, red licorice, watermelon, star anise,  sandalwood, canela and baking-spice flavors combine to create a racy, lingering, harmony. Mineral notes, fruit zest and tannin bring balance and the promise of greater pleasure to come, so don’t be afraid to give this already lovely Pinot some cellar time.
