Soberanes Vineyard Pinot Noir

Santa Lucia Highlands · Estate-Grown
“The Challenger”

Soberanes is more cowboy than scholar, with an earthy, grounded character and an easy sense of generosity. It is typically expressed through layers of juicy berries, leather, savory herbs and chaparral. Rich and fruit-forward, it is a classic expression of Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir.

Soberanes Vineyard

Soberanes Vineyard

Soberanes is planted directly south of Garys' Vineyard with vines oriented true north to maximize the suns rays in our foggy and windy region. A creek bisects the vineyard and soils are more rocky closer to the creek. Soberanes makes juicy and concentrated wines with a slight herbal thread.
