2017 Cuvée Dr. Robert Pinot Noir
In Stock
The 2017 Cuvée Dr. Robert Pinot Noir comes entirely from the Peterson and Cortada Alta Vineyards in the Santa Lucia Highlands appellation. The name was inspired by a song from 1966 about a doctor with a "special cup." This cuvée spent just over a year in neutral French oak, and then an incredibly long three and a half years in tank before it was bottled at the end of February 2022. Typical of Sandler's SLH Pinots, it is a pleasantly fragrant Pinot, with a medium body and long finish. Enjoy this from 2022 through 2028.
