"A juicy, friendly and rather rich wine, this exudes strawberries, raspberries and sour cherries on a smooth, mildly tannic texture. It's medium bodied, mouth-filling and enjoyable. Drink or hold."

"Tasted prior to bottling, the 2023 Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills is dark-fruited, woody and faintly floral, with a sappy, anise-driven side that appears with aeration. The palate is surprisingly generous in texture with a twisted, sturdy and inward tannic profile that should soften and come together after bottling."
