Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

A Santa Barbara area Pinot. Deep Ruby color with aromas of red fruits, forest floor and spice, spent about 15 months in French oak (50% new). On the palate flavors of cherry and raspberry with cedar notes, cinnamon spice and earthy herbs. Full-bodied, fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit, oak and an earthy character. Nice! Drinking well now!

Mellow and fruity - could use another few years of bottle aging to bring umami notes to life.

Yes please! Great balance of fruit with the earth. Luscious in the mouth and goes down smoothly.

Beautiful fragrance. Cherry and raspberry on the palate. An outstanding Pinot Noir at about 5 years old. July 2023.

2021 vintage. Spicy and racy and hiding most of the traditional SRH sleekness. 5.4.23.

Cherries all day on this. Warmer climate does come out in this. More straightforward but delicious
