2002 Lafond Santa Rita Hills Pinot Noir. Seen better days. Dark and stewed with dried fig, plum and earth. Seems disjointed in it's old age. 15% alcohol to boot. Ugh! #santabarbara #pinot #sommelier #restaurant #pinot noir #wine

This wine is a Pinot but really drinks like a Syrah. It has excellent balance of fruit and wood but is definitely the heaviest Pinot I have had.

Smooth with mild sour cherry and that’s it. Nothing wrong with it, but not enough that’s right either.

A surprising Pinot Noir that is slightly dry. I think it is a vintage that is ready to drink.

This 2006 Pinot is deep, dark and plummy delicious. Long taste. A big Pinot. Strong tannins and acid, but smooth.
