SLH without too much explanation is a premier site for Pinot Noir and Chard. But like Napa/Sonoma and Santa Barbara the similar theme is we're finding more grape varietals to diversify ourselves because of how great our weather is and generally our love of many options. Roar is a local leader of quality wines, if you're looking for an SLH example of the good stuff.. here you go.

Went on a cool personal tour of some vineyards at the winery and tried some wine after. This is a newer vineyard for them, high elevation grown Viognier (10 years). Keep in mind this is a foggy climate versus most other Viognier climates. Rich peaches outweigh the honeydew melon fruit for an ideal balance of fruit I'd prefer. I think an edge to this wine is some minerality I usually find clouded from old world veen. Also out here we're in our 2nd or 3rd year in a row of very cold summers and cold spring/fall. It's really what I imagine Seattle to be because most days I just get overcast with my beach view😂 I look forward to a very warm SLH year; this will wake up the locals. — 8 years ago

Just lovely. Crushed raspberry and a lovely smell of pepper and you can almost smell the foggy air in Sta Rita Hills. Taste is smooth with both red berries and vegetables. Hint of new oak. Love it and I am lucky to have more in my cellar — 9 years ago

Another tasty exception to my rule of not usually enjoying sauvignon blancs. Not all the way dry, plenty of wet stones, white flowers, passionfruit, clementine and kind of a classic Austrian aromatic quality that i always get, which makes me think of a foggy spring morning with wet concrete all around. — 8 years ago

1990 Cooke Vineyard. Peat and blackberry and French plum make the initial assault on your palate. Continues through the Flavors with integrated earthiness and black stone fruit with loads of depth and still a veil of tannins to provide structure. — 10 years ago

A bit edgy and green upon opening but more wow with some air. Petrichor and savory herb aromatic, veil of red fruit wrapped around salt and stone in the teeth. — 10 years ago

One of the best $10 & under rosés on the market. Nose is subdued and approachable, showing red berries and a veil of minerality. With a slight effervescence and a touch of RS, this reminds me of fresh raspberry lemonade on a hot day. Accompanied with great mouthfeel and youthful acidity, this is rosé far outshines it's price tag. — 9 years ago

I thought I would try something a bit different, a Pinot from Austria. What a surprise a very well done Pinot that could pass as a Burgundian Pinot. This I purchased for around $17.99. On the nose I get a nice funk I truly enjoy. Nice raspberry and plum notes with pepper, and forest floor on a foggy night. The palate shows succulent ripe fruit , cherry, strawberry, raspberry, with a smooth mouth feel and silky tannins. Medium acidity, medium body and medium finish. A very delicious Pinot Noir. — 10 years ago
