Whitcraft Winery
Zotovich Vineyard Pinot Noir
Sta. Rita Hills, Central Coast, California, USA
I had no time to take formal notes. Was busy eating & talking. Compared to the 2014 Seasmoke a real let down. It seems to me there is still a learning curve involved for most wineries north of Santa Barbara in - how to make Pinot’s which will actually age well. Tourism and party buses are crowding Los Olivos et al. and there is a real risk easy drinking wines will take over the artists.
