95 JD. "Brought up in 20% new French oak, the 2018 Pinot Noir Santa Lucia Highlands offers a terrific, complex bouquet of spiced cherries, raspberries, spring flowers, and dried herbs. Beautifully balanced, elegant, and seamless on the palate, it shines for its complexity, texture, and length and is a stunning Santa Lucia Highlands release! While I review Kosta Bowne in the Sonoma report, I was able to taste a handful of wines from both Santa Barbara County and the Santa Lucia Highlands for this report."
