Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir

A bit cloudy ruby color; red and blue fruit, minerality, and oak on the nose with some decadent dusty attic-notes and tire-rubber; medium-plus on the body, acid levels, and alcohol (13.5%), fine tannins, tart cherries and strawberries.

Exuberant, fruity and definitely Santa Barbara...but expertly crafted, complex and refined. No intrusive new oak, no cloying grapiness, no hot finish. Textbook stuff. #ojaivineyard #santabarbaracounty #pinotnoir

Pure, high-toned. Fraises, sous-bois and minerals; direct and satisfying like a top St Aubin. Excellent value. #ojaivineyard #santabarbarapinot

Rich fruity central coast #Pinot that has some Loire style tendencies imo

Mouth-puckering, with dark fruit flavors, quite a dichotomy. #ojaivineyard #pinotnoir

Fine, filigreed and vibrant. Little red fruits, forest floor, cola. Charming, yet showing enough structure to warrant 3-4 years in a good cellar.

Amazing. At it's peak and incredible. Over delivering expectations.

Showing a mature nose of decaying leaves. Beautiful, pure, sweet red fruit. Holding its age gracefully.

Ruby red, medium bodied with aromas of spring flowers and roses. Dried oregano and mushrooms. Cherries and red berries pleasantly surprise the palate. Very sophisticated and elegant.

2018 vintage. Lots of cola nut, white sage and eucalyptus in the nose that shows up in the taste profile along with a bit of cracked black pepper. Initially a bit closed, opened up after about 20 mins. Medium-bodied.
