RATINGS

94The Wine Advocate

...aromas of black tea, dried mushrooms, tobacco and damp earth complementing a core of dried berry fruit...medium-bodied palate is surprisingly powerful with layers of fruit and earth and abundant yet softening tannins. It has mouthwatering acidity and a long, complex finish.

94Jeb Dunnuck

...ripe, sexy, spice-filled Pinot Noir that has tons framboise, red currants, toasted spice and forest floor. Rich, medium to full-bodied and concentrated...

93Vinous / IWC

Deep, pliant and beautifully resonant on the palate...has much to offer, especially in its textured, resonant expression of dark Pinot fruit.

REGION

United States, California, Central 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.
