Sequana Sarmento Vineyard Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir - 2008

The Santa Lucia Highlands overlook Monterey County’s Salinas Valley. The southeast-facing slopes benefit from morning sun, afternoon sea breezes and moderate nighttime temperatures. Vines develop deep roots in alluvial soils deposited over ancient marine terraces. This region’s long growing season allows Pinot Noir to flourish, producing wines characterized by wild cherry and earthiness.
