This is quite a special wine. I don’t care what the others rated this. I like it. Purchased on my trip to Santa Barbara almost 6 years ago. Now I remember why I bought it at the tasting room. Nice floral bouquet, slightly acidic, light translucent color with less than 13 percent alcohol (that’s a good thing). Very good structure that would suggest this wine is in the middle innings and can probably last a few more years

A nice, light Pinot noir - very light in color (like a dark rosé), with red berries on the nose.

Light but silky mouthfeel. Soft. Delicate floral and fruit but surprisingly rich.

A true old world Pinot--light but full of flavor. A hot weather red.
