It was only natural that we would make a Pinot Noir in addition to Chardonnay. The Santa Lucia Highlands is well-known as the perfect home for both these varietals. Grapes ripen slowly, enabling us to make wine of heightened complexity, with layers of aromas and flavors. We named Mer Soleil after the two forces of nature – the sea and sun – that shape this singular character, and they are every bit as powerful in creating our Pinot as our Chardonnay.
Vinous
- v91
Deep, brilliant garnet. Spice-accented red berries, vanilla and candied flowers on the perfumed nose, with a smoky nuance emerging as the wine opens up. Sappy, appealingly sweet and focused on the palate, offering juicy raspberry and cherry preserve. Rose pastille flavors smoothly blend power and delicacy. Fine-grained and seamless in texture, finishing extremely long and floral, with resonating spiciness and smooth, well-knit tannins.
