Blind Tasting of Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir: Aromas of fig, black cherry, earth, cedar and mushroom. The palate shows fig, mineral, spices and dried florals- nicely layered. Appealing mid-palate weight and density. Silky fine tannins, and good length on the finish.

End of September Samples Tasting: Medium ruby color. Exquisite aromas of black cherries, red and black plums, mixed with roses, rhubarb, incense, earthy/clay notes – wow. Medium-bodied presence on the palate, solid grip on the tannins, medium acidity keeps it refreshing. Black cherry and crunchy plum fruit, ripe but nuanced, laced with cola, roses, rhubarb, clove, cedar, eucalyptus. Juicy and fruity but layered and complex. This will improve for five+ years easily. Aged 14 months in 20% new French oak.

Not as good as previous vintages, but solid SRH Pinot here. Typical fruit forward SRH style - bing cherries, cola, spice. Finish is a bit short. Medium body and weight. Complexity is ok. OK value.
