TatomerSantaBarbaraCountyPinotNoir

An elegant and refined Pinot Noir from Santa Barbara County with lovely high toned fruit aromatics wrapped in delicate minerality. Crafted by the acclaimed Graham Tatomer – most famous for his work with Riesling and Grüner – this is a superb Pinot singing of ripe red cherry and spice. Complex and age-worthy, this is one of the best value Pinot Noirs coming out of California today.

90/100 – The 2022 Pinot Noir Santa Barbara County is composed predominantly of Drum Canyon fruit, with smaller portions of Kick-on Ranch and Sanford & Benedict. The aromas are bright, pure and savory, seamlessly transitioning to a velvety yet spry palate that finishes with subtly chalky tannins. In keeping with the Tatomer style, there is a precision and clarity on display here that is enthralling and impressive. – Matthew Luczy, Wine Advocate

90/100 – The 2022 Pinot Noir (Santa Barbara County) is a classy, polished wine. Crushed red berry fruit, spice, cedar and rose petal are all nicely lifted. – Antonio Galloni, Vinous
