Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir

Had many times. Strawberry, cherry, cola and stems.

What a charming Tuesday night Pinot. A rush of flavor, yet nuanced at the same time. Sandalwood, rose blossom, and cherry skin, leave a slight impression of sweetness.So silky, I could drink this all night, but am happy to have a few glasses left for tomorrow.

Pour a berry compote into a freshly opened can of tennis balls. That's this wine. @Gary Vaynerchuk that's a tasting note a la vayner show wltv circa 2008.

This is what pinot is supposed to taste like. No de stemming is more fun. Delightful.

A must visit!

47% whole stem leads to green and herbal notes combined with bright red fruit and lovely acid.

18 mos neutral oak. Whole cluster.

Solid.

Aromatics were a bit muddy and undefined. Liked the whole cluster character on the palate. Mid weighted, and a nice wine. Wanted to like it more.

The whole cluster is beautifully balanced on this wine. Always a treat.
