2021 Sarmento Vineyard Clone 777 Pinot Noir

Santa Lucia Highlands

Every few vintages a special clone will stand out to our winemaking team and they will decide to bottle it on its own. Clone 777 from the Sarmento Vineyard is one of those wines. The wine starts with notes of raspberries, cherry and spicy tones of nutmeg and coriander before the full warm and rich mouthful of black cherry, cranberries, strawberry and spice that leads to its long and elegant finish with hints of cinnamon and hazelnut.

Pairing Suggestion:
This rich, fruit-forward wine calls for intense food flavors. We recommend pairing it with lamb loin with a side of roasted vegetables.
