I love Santa Barbara pinots because they tend to give a big middle finger to what is popular with California pinots. Instead of big and robust this is earthy and old world driven, with a nose full of sour cherries and wet earth and day old cola. The palate is fresh and acidic if a tiny bit sour. It's high in alcohol which is the major indication that this is new world. It's a slight point deduction, but only slight.

I've always loved this label. Always had a good to great pinot that could be considered as a treasured find. This one's exactly that. 21 bottles remaining you say?!? I'll take them all. 89pts. ANW/425
