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!
Score: 94 points -- Erin Brooks, The Wine Advocate, 2023
