Fresh with pinpoint tannins and vibrant, juicy acids. Very Santa Barbara with fresh picked red berries and garrigue. Rustic and intense but also creamy on the finish.

This one could benefit from another year or two. Lots of acidity bolsters the bright red fruit and underlying moss and leaf nuance. Strawberry and raspberry. Fresh, needs to open up for at least an hour.

the allure of Santa Barbara county here - delicate, intricate, crisp, aggro-robust, toothsome pinot - licorice-laced fruit-fenestrated soil scented sauce that gets you pleasantly soused.

Young and fresh……would like to see how this vintage develops. Paired with Beef Bulgogi bowl

Camping on Figuera Mountain close to Los Olivos drinking Great Pinot. Bought and retried the wine. 13% plenty of raspberry some cherry and spice. I met Ernst Storm this weekend- definitely a name to watch - his Pinot’s are the most Burg like ones in Santa Barbara right now. Tyler is just as good but more dollars. This one is quite fruit driven but still excellent.

The first on the flight. Bright red fruit quite Burgundy like - cranberries and crushed marble. If you like Burghs. This is your ticket in Los Olivos, CA.
