94/100Erin Brooks,Robert Parker Wine Advocate
The 2021 Pinot Noir Santa Barbara County is bursting with alluring scents of cranberry, rhubarb, pipe tobacco, Earl Grey tea leaves and aniseed, plus loads of spicy accents in the undercurrent. The light-bodied palate has a lacy frame of tannins, shimmery acidity and highly complex, detailed flavors, finishing with generous flavor layers. This overdelivers for the appellation level! 376 cases were made.

The 2021 Pinot Noir (Santa Barbara County ) is a fine appellation-level wine. Crushed flowers, bright red-toned fruit, chalk, mint and white pepper give the 2021 gorgeous aromatic lift to match its translucent mid-weight personality. This sculpted, nervy Pinot is impeccably done.
