2021 Santa Barbara Pinot Noir
2021 Pinot Noir
92 Points
"Matured for 10 months in 25% new French oak, the 2021 Pinot Noir Santa Barbara County has a medium garnet color and broody scents of blackberries, mushrooms, mossy bark and brewed black tea. The medium-bodied palate has a concentrated core of earthy fruit, silky tannins, bright acidity and a long finish laced with floral perfume."
About This Wine
Siduri explores two exceptional areas within Santa Barbara County that are exceptionally well-suited for growing Pinot Noir - Santa Maria Valley and the Sta. Rita Hills. Pinot Noirs from the Santa Maria Valley provide "crunchy" fresh fruits that are laden with spice notes, while Pinot Noirs from the Sta. Rita Hills provide opulent red and black fruits that jump from the glass with tremendous energy. The marriage of these two distinctive growing areas provides a portrait of a beautiful place to grow cool-climate Pinot Noir. The 2021 vintage provided tremendous freshness and ample acidity - a vintage that will age beautifully.
