Score 91/100 · Drink 2014-2019, Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate, Oct 2014
Coming from five different vineyards, the 2012 Pinot Noir Santa Lucia Highlands is another outstanding effort from this team. Loaded with ripe raspberry, licorice and crushed-flower nuances, this beautiful 2012 has a supple, forward and delicious profile that's hard to resist. I don't think it will make old bones, but will dish out loads of pleasure over the coming 3-4 years.

The 2012 Pinot Noir Santa Lucia Highlands is a pretty, supple, entry-level bottling from Roar. Sweet red cherries, plums, spices, leather and menthol meld together in a supple, juicy Pinot with tons of near-term appeal.
