A blend of fruit from Laetitia Vineyard and Spanish Springs Vineyard, this Pinot Noir shows the earthy side of the variety, with dark brown spice joining black cherry fruit and easy oak toast. It’s quite long on the palate, with good integration at its young age. The earth tones come forward just a touch in the finish at present -- age this a while for full enjoyment.

"Veteran vintner Christian Roguenaut knows San Luis Obispo County like few others. Here, he puts together a great appellation blend in this bottling. Snappy aromas of fresh raspberry and red currant meet with elegant rose peels on the nose. The palate begins with joyous black raspberry fruit and then tightens around earthy hints of thyme, sage and mossy pine needles. -MK"
