2021 Pinot Noir, Julia's Vineyard
Santa Maria Valley
"A light hue in the glass, this bottling offers pomegranate, singed chaparral and hints of game on the nose. The palate shows quite a bit of toasty oak that wraps around the baked cherry flavors." Wine Enthusiast, 93 Points
"The 2021 Pinot Noir Julia's Vineyard is a lighter hued, perfumed, medium-bodied effort from a site in Santa Maria. It was destemmed and brought up in 30% new oak, and it has ripe cherry and dried strawberry fruits as well as savory spices, loamy soil, and sandalwood nuances. It’s balanced and has a gorgeous, lengthy finish. It will keep for a decade." JebDunnuck.com, 93 Points
"Light-bodied and elegant in style, with notes of blood orange zest, sous-bois and red tea leading the way for modest bitter cherry and damson plum coulis flavors. Stays persistent through the gossamer finish. For fans of the style. Drink now through 2026. 274 cases made." Wine Spectator, 91 Points
