A beautiful wine in every way. A clear, vivid ruby color. Wonderful bouquet of cherries, dry earth, black tea and roses. Pure, vibrant fruit, full-bodied, and balanced. This was just a wonderful example of Central Coast Pinot Noir. Drinking so well, but this could be aged further without concern.

World of Pinot Noir Grand Tasting (Bacara - Goleta CA): Tasting, brief note. Absolutely my favorite of the 100+ wines tasted at today's WOPN. An array of red berry and cherry aromas with Asian five spice that extends onto the palate with the same charming red fruit throughout. The unique character of this plot and clone result in something very special. Fruit purity is intensified by the lack of new oak. This is from a single clone in the Machado Vineyard.
