WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
A classic Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir, it is a wine of great aromatics and character showing black cherry/cranberry fruit, rose petal, earth and spice. Balance is the key to this wine. A balance of oak and fruit, a balance of tannin and acid, and a balance of elegance and intensity.
TASTING NOTES:
A light hue in the glass, this bottling offers aromas of pomegranate, rosewater, toasted cherry pits, salted meat and a hint of tar. The palate is peppery and salty, as those savory elements pair well against the cranberry, orange peel and thyme flavors.
