Lompoc September 2020: Tasted at Longoria tasting room. Structured, backward Pinot Noir, needs at least 3 years, possibly 5-8. Concentrated, plenty of raw material in terms of dark fruit, sage, spice, and oak. Still needs to integrate the oak at this stage, though it's in balance with the depth of the wine. Recommended for those with cellars, will probably go somewhere interesting, profound, but needs patience, or perhaps an extended decant.

Rich and concentrated at this point. It's good, but not legendary. These wines typically age well. I greatly anticipate tasting it again in 3-4 years.
