This blend is comprised of 3D, Machado, Hapgood and Perilune vineyards. While each lot is handled separately and in a completely uniform fashion in the winery, each contributes vastly different expressions which ultimately harmonize in the finished wine.

"This appellation cuvée is always a solid bet for experiencing a healthy dose of Greg Brewer's unique style. Strawberry, bay leaf and eucalyptus grove aromas lead from the zesty nose into a palate of tart raspberry, orange peel and more eucalyptus flavors." -MK, 10/1/25

"The 2023 Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills) is open-knit, fleshy and approachable. Vibrant acids and tingly floral notes lift a wine of purity, regional identity and palpable energy. This really captures the essence of the Sta. Rita Hills. Salted cranberry, crushed rocks, rosewater and orange peel meld together in utter harmony. You'd be hard pressed to find a more terroir-driven entry-level Pinot Noir in Santa Barbara." -BN, Aug/2025
92 Points - Wine Advocate
"As with the Chardonnay iteration, the 2023 Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills encapsulates the region, house and vintage with admirable precision and crystal clarity. Red-fruited, herbal and crushed stone aromas introduce a lifted yet saturated palate, concluding with a similarly vibrant and pleasantly savory finish that lingers with marine nuances." -ML, 11/6/25

"A savory-edged version, with bitter cherry and raspberry coulis notes at the core and a flash of bracing oyster shell minerality through the finish. Drink now through 2028. 8,475 cases made." -JM, 9/30/25
