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 deep garnet-hued 2023 'Le Moulin Rouge' offers a refined blend of violets, red cherry, blackberry pie, and ripe plum in the nose, framed by accents of baking spices. The generous entry announces the intent of this plush, rich Pinot Noir which delivers ample gras and concentration while maintaining a precise structure with great balance. The ultra-fine, high-quality tannins give the wine remarkable length and a soft, lingering finish.
