The wine region of Santa Lucia Highlands
Narrow AVA on the western slope of the Salinas Valley in Monterey (1992, ~5,000 ac): signature dominant Pinot Noir as king red (3,400 ac) — refined, taut reds with red fruits, silky and spicy, saline freshness. Chardonnay (2,100 ac) as a lively, mineral king white with notes of citrus and stone fruits. Syrah in warmer sheltered canyons, fleshy and peppery. Daily fogs from Monterey Bay lengthen the season, a premium fresh Burgundian and Rhone identity.
