Lush floral aromas of heirloom rose and hibiscus meld with blood orange and pomegranate, giving way to textural aromas of flint and redwood forest duff. Focused acidity and ripe red plum lead the palate towards a richness and expansiveness that distinguishes this wine from some of the more angular Santa Cruz Mountains pinot noir expressions. Lush is once again the word here, with ripe stone fruit and Bing cherry notes overlaying a savoriness that is Lester Family Vineyard’s signature.
