  Color: Medium ruby. Translucent.
  
  Nose: Beautiful, intense, perfumey, classic northern Santa Barbara Pinot nose of red/black cherry (cerise) liqueur and Santa Rita spice. Subtle complexity. Beautiful purity.
  
  Palate: Medium-full body, nice flavor intensity, and excellent length. Good acidity. Soft tannins. Silky. This wine purrs. Excellent balance. 13.5% alc.
  
  91 pts.
  Best drinking window: 2022- 2028.
  This is already drinking beautifully.
  
  I've drank the Pinots from this winery since the early 90s. This vintage is a return to excellence.

  Over extracted. Too fruity and big for my palate at this stage, but should improve with some time. Cherry, flowers, black tea.
