2021 Beau Marchais Soberanes Vineyard Sud Pinot Noir – The Soberanes Vineyard is in the Santa Lucia Highlands in Monterey County and farmed by the dynamic farming duo of Mark Pisoni and Gary Franscioni. The Southern (sud) end of this property ripens earlier than the rest of the vineyard and tends to show a more lush, rich character. Philippe called himself a “child of the south” and I think he’d very much like this wine from the Sud.
