2013 Roar Pinot Noir Santa Lucia Highlands...$41.99
This is the largest producer release; there's roughly 1,628 cases of the 2013 Pinot Noir from Santa Lucia Highlands to go around. Made from a blend of close to equal parts Garys', Rosella's and Sierra Mar (with small parts from Pisoni and Soberanes), the 2013 Pinot Noir gives up gorgeous notes of black raspberries, blackberries, toasted spice, dried soil and underbrush. Medium to full-bodied, elegant, and seamless with bright acidity that is nicely integrated, enjoy this beauty anytime over the coming 5-6 years. It's a perfect introduction into the style of wines from this estate and is well worth tracking down.
Rated 92/100 The Wine Advocate
