Textbook example of Santa Barbara (and Bien Nacido) Pinot. Ripe cherry and strawberry, plucky acidity and a modest oak regime make this an easy drinker, if not particularly unique.

Very nice, definitely has the structure to age a lot more! Mellow dark fruit.

Pommard clone, own-rooted 45 year old vines from the famous Bien Nacido vineyard. Spicy dark fruit has a bit of cooked-ness but nice mineral and acid counterbalance keeps it interesting.
