It’s not
that the names Santa Lucia Highlands and Pisoni are synonymous, but it’s really
close. Gary Pisoni began planting grapes back in 1972 when few vineyards even
existed in Monterey County. Now they are one of the leaders of quality wines
from this region.
The 2019
Lucy is a Rosé made from Pinot Noir from several of
their vineyard sites. There are light notes of strawberry, guava, orange
peel, rose water, a very muted lemon-lime quality and white peach. There’s a
moderate acidity and an ethereal sense of fresh air and salt water from the
Monterey Bay, nearby. Though this wine has been around for a decade, it’s not
been promoted much, and also less known is that for each bottle purchase $1
goes to breast cancer research.
