SANTA MARIA VALLEY | CALIFORNIA | $34
A medium-bodied Pinot with strawberry and dark berry fruit, a hint of organic soil and a slight acidity. Far leaner than the big Pinots of many Santa Barbara producers, but just as complex. However, this is not a lean Pinot by any means; it will tackle the heartiest of foods. An excellent wine at a modest price for a quality Pinot. (Reviewed 10/11/10)
