Spicy red berry aromas lead to an energetic yet still tight palate of raspberries, pomegranates, herb tea, orange peel, minerals and chewy, fine-grained tannins. Crunchy and nervy, with a touch of flint. Drink or hold, but better in another two years.

The 2023 Bernardus Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir shines in the glass with a glistening garnet hue. Juicy cherry, pomegranate, and zesty orange peel lead on the palate, with rose and lavender adding aromatic lift and a subtle hint of rooibos tea lingering on the finish—classic Monterey typicité through and through. It’s unmistakably Californian in style: glossy, fruit-driven, and delightfully modern. When it comes to Central Coast Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, Bernardus remains a reliably consistent choice; after 12 years of tasting their wines, I can say they never fail to deliver the goods.
