#smokey #meaty #floral #pinot that's right all of that with luscious soft tannins and great length. The perfect wine for smoked meats or pastrami or a smoked salmon. Really good #sbcwine #santaritahills #santabarbara #santabarbarapinot — 9 years ago

The winemaker is a really nice lady and all of her wines are great. Especially her Pinot and her Tempranillo. She's in the #Lompoc Wine Ghetto

It clearly has some charred oak which is what's giving the smokey qualities, then there's the 14.8% Alc. Which gives it the soft tannins and ripe cherries. It amazingly maintains its acidity and is really well balanced. Best in show at the California state fair

Deep, dark and elegant. Like a Black Stallion. It's so cool how the variety of #tempranillo #tintadetoro can be so different from its brothers and sisters. #smoky #meaty with touches of #paprika and #roastedredbellpepper one of the great #toro originally made by #eguren now a #vuitton #hennessey venture. — 9 years ago
