Mer Soleil named after the two forces of nature – “the sea and sun.” Grapes sourced from vineyards in the southern and middle areas of Santa Lucia Highlands, deep Ruby with youthful aromas of red fruits and smoky pepper spice. On the palate flavors of cranberry, raspberry and cherry with toasty baking spice, savory, good mouthfeel. Medium+ finish, fine tannins well integrated ending with fruit and a toasty spice character. — 3 years ago

Pleasantly surprised! Mystery box selection. Didn’t think I’d like it given the southern origin but wasn’t too Smokey or fruity. — 3 years ago

Pleasantly surprised and not characteristic of southern ca Pinots a t all! Balanced and smooth. Year was interesting given how aged it is but really spot on. Would get again. Good mystery case get. — 2 years ago
Surprisingly complex for only a 2018 from the Southern Hemisphere. Hints of smoke and flint and toast. Purity of fruit. Excellent #hemelenaarde #southafricanwine #southafrica — 3 years ago
