The 2015 Pinot Noir (Santa Maria Valley) offers lovely depth and nuance in its red cherry, plum, lavender and mint flavors. Silky, perfumed and gracious, with all of the focus that is typical of these wines, the 2015 remains wonderfully translucent, delivering plenty of flavor intensity for a wine that initially comes across as weightless. The Santa Maria Valley Pinot is a blend of old-vine fruit from Solomon Hills and Bien Nacido, done with 100% whole clusters.
