More ripe and fruity than I remembered. Clearly warm climate #pinot #sbcountywines brown sugar and raspberry pie nose, balanced and soft tannins. Delicious wine, but perhaps lacking tension, acidity and texture.

Red cola fruit, brown spice, rich, ripe from a cool vintage.

More earthy than their other releases. Really enjoying it's more restrained fruit and expressive terroir character. Still balanced and food friendly.

I love me some Sta. Rita Hills Pinot and this guy was rock solid. Well balanced, rich and won't leave you hanging with the finish

Last year Paul Lato was involved with this estate. Kinda prune-y and overblown. Too late of picking on this year.

Fruity, not too tannic. A nice version of Pinot from a winery that closed too soon.
