The Gevrey of Central Coast Pinots. Mushroom, black tea and roasted fruits, balanced by energy, low alcohol and lift. Excellent value. #longoria #pinotnoir #staritahills

Dusky and pleasingly mineral. Lots of Santa Rita black tea, spice box & cocoa. Cool, refined and taut. Long life ahead.

Red fruit, vanilla, baking spice, wet rock and a bit if minerality. M+ acid.

The Lovely Rita lives up to its name with subtle, yet lingering, flavors of black cherries and savory herbs. Paired well with both meat and fish dishes.

More open & accessible than the '13. Markedly Sta Rita Hills, but lighter on its feet, better balanced. Tea smoke, cocoa.

Nice perfumed nose, but falls a little flat on the palate. May need some more time to integrate. Has potential.
