More About the 2022 LULI SANTA LUCIA HIGHLANDS PINOT NOIR At under $30, Luli’s Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir honors the idea that exceptional quality need not come with an exorbitant price tag. A collaboration between Master Sommelier Sara Floyd and the renowned Pisoni family, this wine is a harmonious blend of expertise and tradition. Sara’s deep understanding of food and wine pairs seamlessly with Mark and Jeff Pisoni’s profound connection to the Santa Lucia Highlands. Together, they’ve crafted a wine that pays homage to the region’s coastal influence and its growing acclaim as a world-class Pinot Noir destination. The 2022 Luli Pinot Noir is a celebration of the Highlands’ unique terroir. Sourced from sustainably farmed vineyards with low yields, the wine’s complexity is derived from a careful selection of Pinot Noir clones. Each cluster is hand-sorted and fermented with native yeasts in small lots, preserving the fruit’s natural character. By choosing to forego fining and filtering, the wine maintains its vibrant purity, resulting in a fresh, expressive, and undeniably handcrafted beverage. This vintage is more than just a product of the land; it’s a tribute to a shared passion for crafting wines that exceed expectations.
