What Critics Think
Jeb Dunnuck : 93 Points
(5/22/2023) Another terrific Pinot Noir from the team of Moret Brealynn and Adam Lee, the 2021 Pinot Noir Santa Barbara County comes from a mix of sites in Santa Barbara County. Complex mulberry, strawberry, and red plum fruits as well as ample spice and foresty, floral notes emerge on the nose, and this beauty is ripe, fruit-forward, medium to full-bodied, and undeniably delicious. It's drinking beautifully today and is perfect for enjoying over the coming 3-5 years. It's impeccably made and has loads of character. Maturity: 2023 - 2028.
Wine Enthusiast : 91 Points
(5/1/2023) An extremely good deal for the price, this bottling begins with pure cherry and berry aromas, with hints of blood orange and rose on the nose. Focused red-fruit flavors approach a candied state, but the feathery, tense tannins hold the package in check.
Wine Spectator : 91 Points
(2023) A juicy, plump style, laden with dark cherry and mulled blackberry notes and infused with dark tea and singed anise. The toasty finish seems aimed at the hedonist crowd. Drink now through 2026. 1,029 cases made.
