Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir
After years of customers asking for a Rombauer Pinot Noir, we are thrilled to present the newest addition to the Rombauer portfolio. We tasted examples from appellations up and down the west coast, ultimately identifying the Santa Lucia Highlands AVA in Monterey County as the premier region for Pinot Noir.
In Rombauer’s signature style, this wine has a fruit forward character, lively acidity, a silky mouthfeel, and a long finish. A team favorite, this new wine is also revered by critics and consumers around the world.
We invite you to discover this wonderful wine.
Serving and Storage Questions
Serving and Storage Questions
-
- Ready to drink? Our Pinot Noir tastes best when it is chilled slightly to 64 degrees F. We recommend you put it on ice or in the refrigerator for a few minutes before enjoying as it’s best served slightly cool to allow its complex aromas to shine! This is especially important if you are drinking it outside on a warm summer day or near a fireplace.
- Not drinking this soon? Store in a cool, dark place, ideally 57-62 degrees F, and on its side to protect it from damage and keep the cork wet. While this wine is delicious upon release, it will continue to develop for up to five years from the vintage date.
