2023 Cedar Lane Vineyard Pinot Noir

100% certified sustainable Pinot Noir from the Cedar Lane Vineyard, at the far northern end of the Arroyo Seco AVA in Monterey County. 13.5% alcohol. 600 cases made. This is the new name of what was previously Chesebro Wines, the personal project of former Bernardus winemaker Mark Chesebro and his son Will.  They make some of the best wines in the Arroyo Seco AVA and incredible values for Monterey County. The vineyard is just a few yards south of the famed Santa Lucia Highlands bench on the dry streambed floor (the Arroyo Seco), loaded with rounded river rocks.

93 Points Wine Enthusiast (Editor's Choice). "Aromas of fresh yet tightly wound white pepper, herb and raspberry pop on the nose. The Palate is bright and tense offering, cranberry, rose petal, and more peppery spice flavors."
