2019 McIntyre McIntyre Estate Vineyards Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir

14.4% alc., pH 3.72, TA 0.60, 952 cases, $38. A combination of Swan and “Old Vine” selections and clones 777 and 115 from the McIntyre Estate Vineyard. Indigenous yeast fermentations. · Light garnet color in the glass. The aromas of dark red cherry, spice and earthy flora lead to a very satisfying mid-weight core of black cherry, clove and baking spice flavors. Highly approachable with only minimal tannins showing up on the modest but likable finish. Score: 90. Reviewed July 24, 2022
