Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir
Another Pinot Noir from Joe Wagner, a Tri-Appellation with grapes from Sonoma, Monterey and Santa Barbara. Medium Ruby with aromas of red fruit, with some spice. On the palate flavors of raspberry and strawberry, with earthy spice. Good balanced, lively acidity, fine tannins ending with earthy mineral. Drink now, no aging benefit. Tasting Sample.

Jan 25th, 2023A nice Pinot Noir from the Wagner family.
Showing black fruits with chocolate notes, tobacco, vanilla, licorice, oak, spices and black pepper.
Medium plus in body and jammy, with medium acidity.
Good right out of the bottle and good by itself. A good party wine too.
Easy drinking and fruit forward with a nice, soft mouthfeel.
Tastes very much like the 2018, but with a little less alcohol.
88 points.

Another Pinot Noir from Joe Wagner, a Tri-Appellation with grapes from Sonoma, Monterey and Santa Barbara. Medium Ruby with aromas of red fruit, with some spice. The palate shows rich red fruits of raspberries, cherries and strawberries, with sweet spice. Good balanced, smooth texture, hint of mineral brings this wine to a medium length finish. Nice value Joe.
