RATINGS

91Wine Enthusiast

...shows chai spice, blueberry, olallieberry juice and a touch of juniper on the nose...offering herbal notes of oregano and licorice that pop out of joyous notes of plum.

90The Wine Advocate

...plenty of caramelized sweet berry fruits, violet and spice characteristics to go with a medium-bodied, elegant and seamless style on the palate...I love its overall silkiness and purity...

An elegant, pure and wonderfully fresh and layered nose features notes of cherry, pomegranate, spice, tea and pretty floral nuances. Consistent with the nose there is a refined mouth feel to the medium weight flavors thanks largely to the fine-grained tannins that also serve to shape the dusty, balanced and lingering finish.

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.
