2019 / Pinot Noir

2019 Escolle Road Pinot Noir

Situated in the prestigious Santa Lucia Highlands appellation of Monterey County, this remarkable vineyard source is planted on a bench that lies approximately 300 feet above the valley floor. Enjoying an eastern exposure and the daily maritime influence of fog and brisk sea breezes from the Monterey Bay defines this as a cool climate region. The resulting long growing season, slow fruit maturation, and harvesting at ideal ripeness allows Landmark to craft a wine of exceptional balance, structure, and quality.
