"The 2022 Pinot Noir Santa Barbara County combines the Rancho Real, Julia's and Wild King sites and was entirely destemmed. The nose is dominated by baking spice aromas, supplemented with dried tobacco and red fruits. On the palate, it is straightforward, silky and spry, finishing bright and slightly drying."
