  Dominion Tantara Pinot Noir Cuvée Jeanette 2016, while showcasing the best of Santa Barbara County, does reveal a slight drawback in its acidity levels. The acidity, though generally balanced, tends to be more pronounced than expected, subtly overshadowing some of the nuanced fruit notes.
  
  However, despite this minor critique, the wine manages to secure a commendable 90 points for its overall quality and character. Pouring a radiant ruby, it welcomes with a delightful bouquet of red cherries, wild berries, and a touch of baking spices. The palate unfolds gracefully, offering a harmonious interplay of ripe strawberries, cranberries, and a subtle hint of vanilla. Silky tannins and well-integrated oak contribute to a smooth and elegant texture.
  
  The persistent finish leaves a lasting impression of depth and complexity, showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship behind this Pinot Noir. Dominion Tantara Pinot Noir Cuvée Jeanette 2016, despite its minor acidity nuance, stands as a solid representation of the region and earns a commendable 90 points, making it a noteworthy addition to any wine enthusiast's collection

  Lovely saline and seaweed notes play with tart cranberry and red berries. In a nice place right now.
