This week WW drifted a little north of his usual haunts in San Luis Obispo and Northern Santa Barbara Counties to bring you a hot tip on Pessagno 2004 Pinot Noir from the Santa Lucia (LOO-C-YA) Highlands.
Click this link or the radio to hear him.
Some may not be aware of the significance of the vineyards in the Santa Lucia Highlands, but it has become of one of the most desirable sources for wine grapes of stunning quality.
This amazing Pinot Noir is a tribute to the outstanding Pinots winemakers are producing from this unique region in Monterey County. It opens with big jammy aromas and flavors of black cherries, briary berries and plums.
All nicely highlighted with spice, earth, leather and smoky notes. A great choice for beef, lamb, pork or quail, and yet so well balanced you will also find it irresistible when enjoyed all by itself.
This amazing Pessagno Pinot is usually 40 bucks but if you look around you can find for on sale for 30 dollars.
