Blend of five vineyards from two appellations in Santa Barbara County; Solomon Hills and Gold Coast; from Santa Maria Valley, Peake Ranch and Zotovich; and Drum Canyon from Sta. Rita Hills. Ruby color with aromas of red fruit, baking spice and earthy notes. On the palate flavors of raspberry and cherry with white flower notes and an array of spices. Fine dusty tannins, long finish ending with fresh fruit, spice and earthy tones. Nice! — 4 months ago

The LF guys were kind enough to pull this mag from their library for me - the 2010 White Hill (had to be relabeled) 62.5% Zotovich Vineyard, 12.5% Kessler-Haak, 12.5% Rita’s Crown. Sublime. — 6 years ago

Biiig cali Pinot — unmistakable. To be fair the 2023 is quite young. Clearly very well made and pure but just a little hot and juicy for my taste. Would go nicely with some heartier food than a typical Pinot would pair with. — 8 months ago

[Tasted on November 5, 2021 at Home]

Ripe fruit on the nose. Blueberry, cherry, raspberry and cranberry fruit on the palate, with spice, graphite, smoke and a hint of orange peel. Aged 17 months in 60% new French oak. Wine is bright and fruit forward, while also restrained and well balanced. — 5 years ago

Dark Ruby color with blue and black fruit aromas, slightly floral. The palate shows sweet fruit, ripe blue and black fruit with spice, lively acidity, firm tannins, all nicely balanced. Medium+ finish ending with the fruit still coming through with slight smoky espresso notes. Has good short-term aging potential, but enjoyable now. — 2 years ago

One of the few sweet wines from #Chardonnay that I’ve ever had. I really enjoyed it. I’m a sucker for yummy sweet wines. Leave it to #sbccounty to make this style — 5 years ago
