Winemaker Notes

Aromas of raspberry, strawberry, rose petal and pine resin. The palate has flavors of boysenberry, black cherry, nutmeg and star anise. Pop of fruit on the entry is lengthened by delicate tannic grip and freshened by pleasant acidity.

The only truly east-west valley on the West Coast, the Sta. Rita Hills sits between Lompoc and Buellton in Santa Barbara County. Wind funneling into the area makes for smaller clusters, smaller berries, and a higher skin-to-juice ratio. This makes Pinot Noir that is darker, heavier, and richer in fruit, with a touch of minerality and nicely balancing acidity.
