With its origins in the esteemed Soberanes Vineyard, the 2016 Matias Pinot Noir showcases the unique coastal climate of California’s Santa Lucia Highlands, where cool breezes and rich soils contribute to its vibrant character. Scoring a solid 90 points, this wine captivates with aromas of ripe cherry, subtle earthiness, and a hint of spice, leading to a palate that elegantly balances juicy red fruit with a touch of savory complexity. The silky texture and bright acidity make it incredibly food-friendly, pairing beautifully with roasted duck or a hearty mushroom risotto. For those looking to elevate their wine collection, this Pinot Noir delivers remarkable quality that far exceeds its original retail price, making it a savvy addition to any cellar.
