2021 Pinot Noir, Bien Nacido Vineyard - Block 43
Santa Maria Valley
"Black cherry, cola and vanilla-cream flavors draw the nose deeply into this special block-designated bottling from a historic site. A firm texture and sizzling acidity provide a textural backdrop to the ripe flavors of red fruit and red flowers, with a pinch of mace adding spice. The finish goes deep. " Wine Enthusiast, 96 Points
"Plump and juicy in feel, with loganberry and mulberry notes framed by light chalky threads, this red is backed by hints of anise and singed balsam wood on the finish. Drink now through 2030. 442 cases made." Wine Spectator, 92 Points
"Plums, black cherries, peppery herbs, and earthy notes all emerge from the 2021 Pinot Noir Bien Nacido Vineyard Block 43, a darker styled, earthy, medium-bodied, nicely balanced effort that will evolve for 7-8 years." JebDunnuck.com, 90 Points
