95pts Jeb Dunnuck

The 2022 Pinot Noir Seabiscuit Zotovich Vineyard has some classic Sta. Rita Hills salty, mineral, savory notes as well as a core of both red and black fruits, some floral, gamey, and bouquet garni nuances, medium body, a round, layered mouthfeel, and fine tannins. It's very much in the more open-knit, perfumed, supple style of the vintage and is already drinking beautifully.

Winemaker Notes

Brilliant ruby red color with fragrant notes of bing cherry, rose petals, and a hint of lavender. On the palate, the core of red fruit continues with fresh acidity and dense texture. It is mid-bodied, zesty, and smooth with a hint of spice on the finish. The tannins are gentle but persistent and will allow this wine to age gracefully with time.
