Joullian Vineyards Wine Tasting Monterey Road Trip
Take a trip down the California coast and taste through this white and red flight that showcases the finesse, complexity and ageability of Joullian Vineyards' wines.
Wine Flight
Monterey Chardonnay 2017
This Chardonnay is made from a few different vineyards from around the Central Coast, mostly Arroyo Seco and Santa Lucia Highlands. It is bright with lemon meringue and toasty notes from barrel fermentation and a little new oak aging. There's also a touch of sweet fruit that balances nicely with the acidity.
Monterey County Rosé 2019
Rosé gains its structure from the red varietals and the blend's aromatics are heightened from the white varietals. Strawberry, rose petal, raspberry, honeydew melon zest on the nose. Palate shows balanced fruit with similar notes as the bouquet. Dry with a medium mouthfeel.
SLH Pinot Noir 2018
This wine comes from the famous Santa Lucia Highlands, so named because the area rises gently up from the Salinas Valley on the Eastern slopes of the Coastal Range. There, high above the valley floor, the Santa Lucia Highland fruit developed incredible complexity, with ripe strawberry and clove notes. What makes this area special, is that with all the beautiful ripe flavors, there is a strong backbone of acidity that balances the wine. To develop these flavors further, this Pinot spent 10 months in one and two-year-old French oak barrels. The blend of oak helped bring out nuances of red licorice and cinnamon with hints of forest floor. This wine shows well now but will benefit with another 3-5 years in bottle.

About the Winery
Located in Carmel Valley, CA Joullian Vineyards was created by the Joullian and Sias families of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Early in 1982, Joullian Vineyards, Ltd. purchased 655 acres of hillside benchland at an elevation of 1400 feet, in the heart of the remote Carmel Valley with the goal of producing estate-crafted wines with the complexity, finesse and ageability characteristic of the finest wines of the world. In 2015, Joullian Vineyards, Ltd. was acquired by the Hammler Wine Corporation. Owned by husband-and-wife team Tom and Jane Lerum, Hammler Wine Corporation is committed to carrying on the legacy of the Joullian brand and will continue to focus on crafting exceptional wines.
