title: Bernardus 2015 Soberanes Vineyard Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands)
description: For those wondering what minerality means in a red wine, this bottling is the answer. Against the black cherry and dark strawberry on the nose rise powerful crushed slate and smashed graphite aromas. The palate starts with cranberry and pomegranate, but the slate and rocky-soil flavors swing back in, giving backbone to the hints of bay leaf and herbs.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Soberanes Vineyard
