Memo Summary Notes
A standout choice for fans of California Pinot Noir, the Hahn Estates SLH 2023 hails from the prestigious Santa Lucia Highlands (SLH) in Monterey County. This region is famous for its "wind-gap" effect—cool Pacific breezes and morning fog that allow the grapes to ripen slowly, developing deep flavor while maintaining bright acidity.
The "SLH" bottling is the estate-grown step up from their standard California tier, offering more complexity and a clearer sense of place.

Expert Review - Prior Vintage 2022
The Wine Spectator 92 Points | This offers a succulent feel, showing sappy kirsch and raspberry paste notes streaked with savory and red tea, with a sandalwood hint through the lengthy finish. Drink now through 2029.
The Wine Enthusiast 88 Points by Matt Kettmann | Rugged, slightly tart aromas of cherry, berry and pine needle show on the nose of this bottling. The palate is more plush, offering baked strawberry and even blackberry at the front, then picking up more dank herb toward the finish.
