"This appellation cuvée is very satisfying and slightly more affordable than this historic brand's single-vineyard blends. Aromas of black raspberry, toasted curry leaf and sagebrush make for a fascinating nose. The palate snaps with fresh pomegranate and strawberry flavors, as hints of damp soil maintain balance."

"Bright strawberries, tart cherries, spring flowers, and minty nuances all emerge from the 2021 Pinot Noir Santa Maria Valley, a very pretty, floral, incredibly pure Pinot Noir. It picks up a kiss of that classic marine-like nuance of the region with time in the glass and is medium-bodied, has a balanced, elegant mouthfeel, and a great finish. It's all about its pretty, vibrant red fruit and floral nuances." 

Wine Spectator, 91 Points 

"A lively red, showing light-bodied kirsch, cherry and raspberry notes laced with subtle potpourri and iris hints, offering a nice, streamlined feel. Drink now through 2030."
