Blend of five vineyards from two appellations in Santa Barbara County; Solomon Hills and Gold Coast; from Santa Maria Valley, Peake Ranch and Zotovich; and Drum Canyon from Sta. Rita Hills. Ruby color with aromas of red fruit, baking spice and earthy notes. On the palate flavors of raspberry and cherry with white flower notes and an array of spices. Fine dusty tannins, long finish ending with fresh fruit, spice and earthy tones. Nice! — 4 months ago

Once I visited Paul Lato I knew I'd be hooked for many years. His elegance in making the most beautiful Pinots is rewarded in every sip. Cherrys and red fruits dominate this wine. Long structured mid palate and softer tannins keep this going all night. — 8 months ago

Love the smoky notes without it being overwhelming. Great contrast to the cherry-fruity notes from the nerello. — 3 years ago

Great example of a New World malvasia. Outpaces what Steve Clifton at Palmina does with this varietal in terms of depth and length (chalk that up to winemaker’s preference). No idea about how well it might age, but I wouldn’t bother waiting! — 6 years ago

What a nose. Could have given it more air and I m sure it would have been better. — 2 months ago

Big and quite tropical, even pomegranate. Too rich for me but this did strike a positive note 🎵. — 5 months ago

[Tasted on November 5, 2021 at Home]

Ripe fruit on the nose. Blueberry, cherry, raspberry and cranberry fruit on the palate, with spice, graphite, smoke and a hint of orange peel. Aged 17 months in 60% new French oak. Wine is bright and fruit forward, while also restrained and well balanced. — 5 years ago

Aged for 14 months in 50% new French oak, aromas of stone and citrus fruits with notes of smoke and fresh oven biscuits. On the palate flavors of ripe apple and pear, lime citrus with notes of smoke and cedar, well integrated, balanced acidity, long rich finish, ending with fruit and delicate yeasty notes. Very nice. Small quantities made. — 5 years ago
