  After several swirls in the glass and intense, concentrated inhalation, we were inundated with a beautiful bouquet of cranberries, cherries, and raspberries right up front. In the middle and back layers were subtle yet noticeable earth and herbed mushrooms. There were absolutely no noticeable past-prime elements in the magnum, indicating that it was perfectly peaking and had aged very gracefully.
  
  Up front and immediately present was a gentle sweetness of dark fruits reminiscent of candied apple and Chinese Hawthorn candy. This was followed by dark bing cherries that remained present throughout the multiple layers. Dark earth notes followed and co-mingled with the dark fruits thereby providing the impression that this could be a Burgundian wine on steroids but the consistent fruit profile dismissed this. Very well balanced acids with a perfect harmony of earth and fruit combined with the graceful age of a magnum make this wine one of the most delectable we've had all year!

  Santa Barbara County Tasting Trip - Day 1 (Huber Cellars, Alta Maria, Kaena Cellars) (Santa Barbara County, CA): Tasted at the winery. Aromatic with lovely fresh fruit scent. On the palate, nice up front fruit with good depth and, fortunately, not candied. Very clean and with good balancing acidity. Excellent new world expression of the grape. This is one of my favorite producers of Pinot in Cali.
