Bursting with character, the E16 Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir from Doctor’s Vineyard showcases the region’s unique terroir, earning a well-deserved 95 points. This 2016 vintage reveals layers of ripe cherry and raspberry, intertwined with hints of earthy truffle and delicate spice, creating a beautifully balanced profile. The silky texture and bright acidity make it incredibly food-friendly, pairing wonderfully with grilled salmon or roasted duck. With its depth and complexity, this wine is not just a treat for special occasions; it’s also a smart buy for the quality, delivering far beyond what you’d expect at this price point.
