Peter Michael Pinot Noir Le Moulin Rouge Santa Lucia Highlands 2018 750ml

Peter Michael Winery is best known for its Knights Valley estate, but Le Moulin Rouge is its Pinot Noir from the renowned Pisoni Vineyard in the Santa Lucia Highlands of Monterey County. The 2018 benefited from a long, cool, even growing season along the California coast that rewarded Pinot Noir with freshness and aromatic detail. Wine Advocate described vibrant wild strawberry, fresh raspberry and cranberry notes lifted by lavender, wild sage and tilled earth, with a medium- to full-bodied palate, fine-grained tannins and a long, herbal finish. Vinous also rated it highly. Elegant and fresh, it is drinking beautifully now and should hold through the end of the decade.
