A very expressive pinot noir with bright notes of supple flower petals, red fruits, black tea and some suede leather. The flavors cover the palate with raspberry, sweet cranberry and minerally tannins engage the palate.
100% Pinot Noir aged for 9 months in French oak, 7% new. The pinot noir grapes were sourced from vineyards located in Santa Barbara County where fog is a major component of the region.
Wine Enthusiast Review (Best Buy):
Fresh and fruity aromas of black raspberry, red flowers and star anise are juicy and fun on the nose of this bottling. There is ample tension to the palate, where the snappy red-fruit flavors are lifted by sage brush and fennel pollen. -M.K.
