RATINGS

94Vinous / IWC

Impressively complex and highly perfumed on the nose, displaying vibrant red fruit, Asian spice, potpourri and incense scents accompanied by a smoky mineral overtone. Delivers a suave blend of power and finesse in the mouth... Shows impressive focus and spicy lift on a very long, gently tannic finish that leaves behind hints of candied raspberry and star anise.

93Jeb Dunnuck

This cool-climate beauty has more structure and tannic grip as well as impressive darker fruits, leafy herbs, and underbrush aromas and flavors.

REGION

United States, California, South Coast, Santa Barbara County

Santa Barbara County is not an AVA, but a region just south of San Luis Obispo that includes the Santa Ynez Valley and Santa Maria Valley appellations. Wine has been produced in the area since the 18th century when Spanish missionaries planted vineyards. It wasn’t until the 1990s, however, that producers focused on growing premier grapes for fine wines. During the 1990s more than 10,000 acres of vineyards were planted, and today there are nearly 20,000 acres of vineyards. The region received a big bump in recognition and prestige when the popular film “Sideways” was shot there in 2004. Because the region is affected by maritime weather, it is relatively cool climate makes it ideal for Chardonnay. Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir and an increasingly adventuresome number of varietals are also grown successfully in Santa Barbara County.

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.
