A rich and intense bouquet and palate displaying fruit and honeyed flavours finishing with a slight refreshing acidity. A delightful wine to finish a meal with or enjoyed on its own slightly chilled as aperitif.

The 2018 Siduri Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir comes primarily from the vineyards in the Sta. Rita Hills. Using a mix of whole cluster and destemmed grapes from these vineyards, they were blended in barrel until just the right mix was created. The result is upfront aromas of dried cranberry, Black Mission Fig, Chinese Five Spice and black plum, along with eucalyptus, white pepper, cumin and nutmeg. The flavors include fresh raspberry, black plum and blueberry followed by a smooth, broad texture with medium acidity.

On the nose, bright cherry, boysenberry, nutmeg and fresh-cut cedar. On the palate, raspberries, black cherries, walnut and mushroom. Fine grained tannins and vibrant acidity.
