Bernardus Soberanes Vineyard Pinot Noir, Santa Lucia Highlands, USA 2018

Description

Sourced from the celebrated Soberanes Vineyard in Santa Lucia Highlands, the 2018 Pinot Noir from Bernardus Winery reflects a long, temperate growing season that favored depth, aromatic clarity, and structural balance.

The bouquet reveals black cherry, wild raspberry, and plum layered with rose petal, crushed herbs, and subtle oak spice. A faint marine influenced salinity underscores the fruit, characteristic of the region’s coastal proximity. The palate is medium to full bodied, with finely textured tannins and vibrant acidity that provide precision and lift.

The finish is persistent and structured, marked by dark red fruit, savory nuance, and mineral tension. A poised and age worthy Pinot Noir from United States, combining richness with coastal restraint.
