title: Lucienne 2013 Smith Vineyard Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands)
description: Smoked beef, tart cherries and dark berries show on the inviting nose of this hearty bottling from winemaker Paul Clifton. The palate is both heavy duty and elegant, with blackberry and black-cherry fruit resting on a spicy backbone of ginger, clove, bay leaf and aromatic chocolate, leaving the tongue singing for quite a while.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Smith Vineyard
