Wine in Santa Lucia Highlands

Deep ruby red in color with intriguing aromas of sun-warmed blackberries, ripe plums, with hints of black licorice. A complexity of dark berry fruits unfold on the palate; blackberries and bing cherries along with dark chocolate flavors. Vanilla and cedar oak undertones on the mid-palate further enhance the wine. The overall impression is rich with refined tannins, firm acidity and explosive layers of ripe fruit.

Taking its name from the sea and sun – the two forces of nature that shape its exotic character – this wine is as dramatic as the place where it is sourced. With morning fog, bright sunshine and gusting winds, the Santa Lucia Highlands has an extended growing season, leading to the development of tropical aromas, lush fruit flavors and a vibrant acidity.

This elegant and opulent Pinot Noir features aromas of black cherry, violets, and leather. The palate reveals cherry, pomegranate, tea, white pepper, balanced with integrated oak character and a long finish.

Deep magenta in color, warm aromatics of roasted red peppercorn, clove, Chinese five spice and mustard powder emanate from the glass. With time, rich and savory notes of hoisin, dried beef and toasted sesame emerge along with hints of freshly tilled soil, baked orange, cherry blossom and rhubarb. Possessing an assertive and powerful mouthfeel, the wine demonstrates an intriguing depth of complexity balanced equally between spice, earth and fruit components.

The Siduri Santa Lucia Pinot Noir is a blend of six vineyards with the idea of producing the most complex and appealing Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir possible. This red wine offers weighty tannins up front, followed by bright acidity that complements the juicy texture of the mid-palate. This red wine has aromas of cranberry, raspberry, clay, and nori. Weighty tannin up front, followed by bright acidity and tart cherry and dark fruit complement the juicy texture of the mid-palate.

The Sierra Mar Vineyard is one of the southernmost sites in the Santa Lucia Highlands for Siduri. As such, the site usually gets a later start to the growing season, but the maturity of the fruit catches up a bit more quickly as the season progresses.

Vibrant and lively. Luli Chardonnay is sourced from sustainably farmed vineyards in the Santa Lucia Highlands, a cool-climate appellation that ensures bright acidity. The vinification captures this energy. The fruit is fermented in both neutral barrels (older cooperage that no longer imparts wood flavor) and tanks. While the barrels provide texture and lees contact, the tanks provide vibrancy and freshness.
