2018 Morgan Rosella’s Vineyard Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir

14.3% alc., 114 cases, $65. Pisoni selection. 100% de-stemmed native yeast, aged 10 months in 37% new French oak barrels. · A bit unusual for Rosella’s in that the fruit spectrum veers to dark red cherry and beer on the delicate nose and the lightweighted palate. Aromas of dusty earth and rose add appeal and the fetching harmony makes for easy drinking. The cherry-driven finish has a ghost of oak. Score: 92. Reviewed October 4, 2020
