J. Lohr Estates Falcon's Perch Pinot Noir Monterey 2023
13.5% alcohol, cork, Santa Lucia Highlands/Us.

This is from the Arroyo Seco and Santa Lucia Highlands appellations of central Monterey County.

Sweet fruit, smoky characters, chicory and sweet black cherry. Gentle macerated characters. Feels balanced. Finesse to the tannin. Reduction has been put to positive effect. This is an attractive pinot noir all around.
