Pinot Noir HMR Estate RESERVE

Pinot Noir HMR Estate RESERVE Wine Details
Price: $25.00 per bottle

Description: The historic HMR Vineyard is located in the hills west of Paso Robles at an elevation of 1,700 feet. Planted in 1963, it is the oldest pinot vineyard throughout the entire South Central Coast of California, encompassing San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Counties. Just 17 miles from the Pacific Ocean, its unique microclimate benefits from cooling marine breezes. The Burgundian-like, fractured calcareous soils give the wine a complex element of terroir-focused flavors. HMR wines have received much acclaim for over three decades. The "Maestro," Ardre Tchelistcheff loved the wines from HMR, particularly the Pinot Noir. Since 1994, Adelaida Cellars has owned this prized vineyard, one that truly has earned its place in the annals of California wines. This vintage is the realization of a quality potential inherent in our pedigree estate vineyard. A few clockwise swirls reveal a riot of succulent cherry purity. The silken mouthfeel complements the perfumed berry compote, which on second and third sips, takes on the complex and buoyant aromatics of sweet pipe tobacco and rubbed English leather.
