Machado Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2018

Blend of Santa Maria Valley and Sta. Rita Hills vineyards, Ruby with aromas of red fruits and spice. On the palate flavors of cherry and currants with tea and spice, good balanced and structure. Fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit character. — 3 years ago

Nice to taste this Santa Maria Valley bottling alongside the Sta. Rita Hills one. Riper, darker fruits profile but there is still freshness here. Oak is more prominent. Earthier as well with light mushroom and tea leaf notes. Plush palate.
This is a more complex and deeper wine. But I prefer the Sanford bottling slightly.
