A.P. Vin Rosellas Vineyard Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir 2016

Jeb Dunnuck:"The 2016 Pinot Noir Rosellas Vineyard comes from one of the top sites in the region. Coming from three clones; 115, 777 and Pisoni, it sports a deeper ruby color as well as a rocking bouquet of sweet raspberries, tart cherries, flowers, and mint. Its ripe and sexy, yet stays fresh, lively and clean on the palate, with good acidity. Its a beautiful wine to drink over the coming 4-6 years (I suspect it will keep longer)." Oct 2017 Winery: "In 1996, Gary Franscioni planted the 50-acre Rosellas Vineyard, named for his wife, on their estate property just 112 miles north of Garys Vineyard in the Santa Lucia Highlands appellation of Monterey County. We have been sourcing grapes from this vineyard site since 2003 and believe that Rosellas Vineyard, with Gary Franscionis exceptional farming practices, produces a unique wine representing the very best of the Santa Lucia Highlands. Santa Lucia Highlands has proven to be a world class appellation, and we are proud to offer a wine from this great vineyard."
