Description
'Le Moulin Rouge’ provides a showy contrast to the Seaview Estate Pinot Noirs. This Pinot Noir is sourced from the acclaimed Pisoni Vineyard, nestled on the east-facing, gentle slopes of the Santa Lucia Highlands in Monterey County. The wine delivers lush flavors and a signature soft, silky texture, delicate yet complex—all derived from the vineyard’s coastal soil and climate. The clone, originally selected from Burgundy’s Grand Cru, produces naturally small clusters and berries, fashioning a wine with opulent perfume and distinct varietal expression.
Notes From The Estate
On the nose, the 2014 Le Moulin Rouge is packed with intense aromas of wild strawberry, plum, violet and red cherry, followed with hints of Earl Grey tea. Opening further, the bouquet reveals additional aromas of wild strawberry, red cherry, plum, graphite with clove and cinnamon in the background. Intense in the mouth, the wine blends richness and delicacy as the flavours stretch to a long, earthy and fruit-filled finish.
