2021 Roar Pinot Noir Santa Lucia Highlands Central Coast

Winemaker's Notes: Roar's latest vintage of Pinot Noir wonderfully captures the essence of winegrowing in the Santa Lucia Highlands. The wine shines in the glass with a pristine ruby color, supported by aromas of raspberries and blackberries. What comes next is classic SLH. Red fruits on the front of the palate shift into layers of cherry cola, thyme and rosemary herbs wrapped in a supple and leathery texture. Acid finds a subtle harmony throughout tasting. While this year's edition offers a little more restraint, it does not lack in the showy and bold character that Roar strives for.
