When I pulled into White Crane’s tasting room, I didn’t expect much. It is basically an old tool shed that needs a roof and some doors. Looks can be deceiving, what I found inside is a wine produced from grapes from one of the world’s best growing regions for Pinot Noir the Santa Lucia Highlands. This is in Monterey County, a spot with warm summer days, and cool evenings allowing the grapes develop a mature and complex set of flavors. This wine exhibits black cherry, oak, berry with a delicate but distinctly spicy finish. Alexa thinks the bouquet is wonderful and I agree. This wine is ready for drinking now but should age well for a couple years. Sadly only 125 cases were made, and it’s only available at the Livermore tasting room.
