Julia's Vineyard Pinot Noir



Bigger style Pinot, but surprisingly still holding up. Dried raspberry, cherry, cola, tobacco, earth, rubber and nice acid.

Lovely expression of the vintage and one of my favorite Santa Maria Valley vineyards. 14% ABV.

Browned edges in color with a hot nose and some raisiny notes. On the palate, big, alcoholic and a bit tired. Probably a fair bit past it’s best.

This has a nice ruby, transparent color and comes in at 14% ABV. Savory cherry fruit and some white pepper aromas with smooth tannins. Medium finish. On the lighter side and nicely balanced.

Medium bodied Pinot at 14% ABV, with nice cherry fruit and some spice. You can tell this is one of the Santa Ynez grown Pinots as it’s a bit more spicy and less feminine than the Santa Rita Hills Pinots from Foxen. Good and should get a bit better with a bit more time.

What a lovely Pinot! We were having Thai food so this paired very well since we had Red Curry and Pad Thai. A little earthy at first, some tobacco, but the fruits came forward as it opened and I tasted strawberry and raspberry coming through. It had a nice acidity to it so it didn't feel too heavy and got better as the bottle was open and still on the same glass. One to savor for sure!
