2021 Pinot Noir, Santa Maria Valley

"EDITORS CHOICE This appellation cuvée is very satisfying and slightly more affordable than this historic brand's single-vineyard blends. Aromas of black raspberry, toasted curry leaf and sagebrush make for a fascinating nose. The palate snaps with fresh pomegranate and strawberry flavors, as hints of damp soil maintain balance." Wine Enthusiast, 93 Points

"The appellation 2021 Pinot Noir Santa Maria Valley is a beauty as well as a brilliant value. Wild strawberries, framboise, dried flowers, and spice all emerge from this graceful, medium-bodied, elegant Pinot Noir that has tons of character. Destemmed and brought up in neutral oak, drink bottles over the coming 4-6 years." JebDunnuck.com, 92 Points

"A lively red, showing light-bodied kirsch, cherry and raspberry notes laced with subtle potpourri and iris hints, offering a nice, streamlined feel. Drink now through 2030. 2,000 cases made." Wine Spectator, 91 Points
