Capturing the region with its wonderful balance, vibrancy, and richness this Santa Barbara County offering has beautiful complexity with a mélange of red fruit, blood orange, juicy red plum, earthy undertones alongside baking spices, floral notes, wild herbs, and hints of crushed rock. The wine offers pure varietal identity with layered complexities from each site, good concentration, and lovely freshness supported by a silky texture completing the wines seamless length.
A blend of the Zotovich, La Encantada and Sanford & Benedict sites, the 2022 Pinot Noir Santa Barbara County is elegantly red-fruited and earth-tinged on the nose. A beautiful combination of lush and zesty on the palate, its clarity and precision outperform the introductory wines of many labels, leading to a clean, vibrant finish that concludes on a savory note.
