This lovely wine is a tribute to the Santa Lucia Highlands featuring both the earthy and fruit flavors that this region is so well known for. It opens with dark cherry, plum and raspberry with beautifully balanced structure. It finishes with a hint of vanilla and clove on the long finish. The well-balanced earth and fruit in this wine make it ideal for pairing with foods with layers of flavors. Enjoy it with grilled salmon topped with rice pilaf and grilled vegetables.

The 2021 Pinot Noir SLH Smith & Lindley Vineyard boasts soft curves and gentle textures, caressing the palate with a light touch. Reticent floral/peppery notes, supported by sufficient tartness, lead the way here. The slightest kiss of tannin perks its head up on the finish. The 2021 is not the last word on complexity, but it's a fine effort for a $25 vineyard-designate Pinot Noir.
