The 2018 Complant Santa Lucia Highlands Soberanes Vineyard Pinot Noir has a cherry red color and a nose of pomegranate, cranberry and raspberry bramble. On the palate, it has a savory, almost briny entry which transitions to cranberry and pomegranate flavors with a slight grip on the finish. The wine has an unusual combination of lacy texture coupled with an incredible persistence on the palate. The flavors linger long after the wine leaves the mouth. With time in the glass, the nose continues to evolve and expresses sea breeze and bing cherry.
