About This Wine


Milieux

Pinot Noir

This 2024 coastal Pinot Noir from Santa Barbara offers elegant restraint for the seasoned wine drinker. On the nose, deep red rose petals, wild strawberry and black cherry unfold into savory soy, spice and sandalwood, with forest floor, dried herbs and fine oak toast. Plush yet structured, the palate balances dark fruit, soft toast and subtle spice accents with fine-grained tannins toward a juicy, lingering finish. Notably dry with a balanced plush texture, it captures Burgundian-inspired minerality and tension. Perfect for a refined farm-to-table social setting alongside duck breast with cherry glaze, mushroom risotto or herb-crusted pork tenderloin.

Wine Region


Santa Barbara County

Santa Barbara County

Just north of Los Angeles at the southern tip of the Central Coast, Santa Barbara County is one of California's winemaking gems. Although a long way from Napa and Sonoma, Santa Barbara's prime AVAs—the Santa Maria and Santa Ynez Valleys and the Santa Rita Hills—produce exemplary cool-climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. It is all thanks to the terroir. Despite its proximity to sunny southern California, Santa Barbara County is hilly, and its vineyards lie close to the Pacific Ocean. With little rainfall but an abundance of chilly ocean winds and fogs, the growing season is very long here. This allows grapes to ripen slowly over an extended period and develop wonderfully complex flavors.
