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
The medium-ruby 2022 'Le Moulin Rouge' displays an expressive nose of black cherry, violets, rose petals, and wild blackberries with hints of baking spices and dark chocolate. The soft, supple entry is followed by an intense, textured mid-palate with exceptional body and a mouth-watering finish. This harmonious, balanced Le Moulin Rouge is dense with a plush mouthfeel and great complexity and length.
