RATINGS

94Jeb Dunnuck

...offers a terrific sense of earthiness and dried soil as well as red and black fruits, spice, and forest floor. With terrific complex, medium body, a fine, elegant profile, and a great finish...

...broody nose with blackberries, black cherries, rain-spattered soil, black tea leaves, woodsmoke and pipe tobacco plus high-toned notes of saline, dried citrus peel, rhubarb and cranberry. Medium-bodied, it has a good core of earthy black fruit with firm, grainy tannins and juicy freshness, finishing long and nuanced.

93+ Vinous / IWC

Powerful and ample in feel,.. brings out a super-appealing range of dark red/purplish berry fruit, lavender, mint and dried rose petal. The long, substantial finish is a thing of beauty.

REGION

United States, California, South Coast, Santa Barbara County, Santa Rita Hills

Santa Rita Hills AVA in northern Santa Barbara County was granted appellation status in 2001. Located between the towns of Lompoc and Buellton, it has a total area of 30,720 acres with 2,700 vineyard acres. The area is considered a cool climate for vineyards, so vineyards are most often planted with the cool-weather grapes Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The hills in the western part of this appellation are directly exposed to the Pacific Ocean, meaning that maritime winds and fog make the western edge of the Santa Rita Hills AVA particularly cool. The Sanford & Benedict Vineyard planted in 1971 was the first vineyard in the district and is still considered one of the best.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
