Pinot Noir put Villa San Maurice on the map in 2001 when we introduced our first vintage to rave reviews. This Central Coast pinot noir shows ripe berry fruit, bright cherry and plum flavors and an alluring varietal accent in the nose. There is a hint of oak in the finish which complements the crisp acid balance and moderate tannin. The wine was aged 8 months in 60-gallon American oak barrels. This wine shows beautifully now and will continue to develop over the next 3-5 years.
