RATINGS

94The Wine Advocate

...exhibits a complex bouquet of rich soil, pungent cracked pepper, grilled meat and smoky berry fruit. On the palate, it's full-bodied, rich and characterful, with lots of flavor and energy, concluding with a long, intense finish.

92Vinous / IWC

Pungent cherry, dark berries and an olive nuance on the spice-accented nose. Sappy, sweet and expansive on the palate, offering energetic blackberry and cherry-vanilla flavors that tighten up slowly with air. Fleshy, seamless and nicely focused, finishing with silky, harmonious tannins, strong back-end thrust and lingering sweetness.

92Wine Enthusiast

...aromas reminiscent of venison in a rainbow peppercorn glaze, with touches of tar and crushed graphite...palate is likewise quite gamy and tarry, with dried beef and teriyaki touches.

REGION

United States, California, Central Coast, Santa Barbara County, Santa Maria Valley

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.
