Product Description
Crafted by Roar Wines in California’s esteemed Santa Lucia Highlands appellation, this 2021 Pinot Noir is a masterclass in balance and elegance.

Tasting Highlights
This Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir opens with aromatic freshness—think tart cranberries interwoven with wildflower petals—before revealing a palate of velvety red berry flavors. The wine’s bright acidity cuts through its richness effortlessly, creating a refreshing contrast that pairs beautifully with lighter fare or bold dishes alike. Notes of sagebrush and licorice add earthy sophistication, while hints of forest floor underscore its nuanced complexity. At 14.8% alcohol by volume, it strikes an approachable yet robust profile without overpowering your senses.

Why Choose This Pinot Noir?
Roar Wines’ dedication to cool-climate vineyards shines here—this bottling avoids heavy tannins often found in warmer regions instead offering vibrant fruit purity lifted by herbal freshness. Perfect for savoring alongside salmon dishes or mushroom-based meals, its crisp acidity ensures versatility at any gathering or special occasion. Unlike many California Pinots that lean toward lushness, this bottling balances elegance with depth through structured tannins and lingering spice undertones on the finish—a testament to its exceptional aging potential.
