This California Central Coast Pinot is sourced from two vineyards in Santa Barbara County. Grapes from the North Canyon Vineyard in the Santa Maria Valley that are soft and delicate are added to grapes from the Fiddlestix Vineyard in the Santa Rita Hills that are big and bold. Two different sides of Central Coast Pinot blended into one bottle. 1/4th of the juice saw French oak barrels the rest was aged to neutral oak, so a bit of oak for flavor but not much for aging, a drink it now wine.
The color is a rich deep see thru purple. It has that funky Pinot nose, mushroom, forest floor and then strawberries and spice. Medium mouth feel, not lush, but not watery. The taste is cherries and chocolate covered strawberries, but not sweet, there is a good deal of acidity. You can really feel the acidity on your tongue and the back of your mouth. A nice blueberry and cherry juice finish.
A $13 complicated, interesting and 
tasty Pinot, be still my heart.
