#smokey #meaty #floral #pinot that's right all of that with luscious soft tannins and great length. The perfect wine for smoked meats or pastrami or a smoked salmon. Really good #sbcwine #santaritahills #santabarbara #santabarbarapinot — 9 years ago

The winemaker is a really nice lady and all of her wines are great. Especially her Pinot and her Tempranillo. She's in the #Lompoc Wine Ghetto

It clearly has some charred oak which is what's giving the smokey qualities, then there's the 14.8% Alc. Which gives it the soft tannins and ripe cherries. It amazingly maintains its acidity and is really well balanced. Best in show at the California state fair

Join in to #WineStudio next Tuesday at 6pm PST to connect with Dan Kessler of Kessler-Haak and with Mr Tercero himself, Larry Schaffer, at the same time on Feb 23rd. — 8 years ago

I love Drake's wines. This one strays a little bit in a great way with more fruit and body to balance the awesome acid. So aromatic. — 9 years ago

Beautiful nose and heavily perfumed. Yes, slightly sweet but also shows nice acidity on the tongue. At the Alsace restaurant also a great value for a Grand Cru with some bottle age. — 10 years ago

When I tasted the new vintage, I told Dan his winemaking skills have gone to a higher plain. 100% estate fruit. Dan has constructed a pure, beautiful expression of what the Sta. Rita Hills is all about. Touch of earth, mushroom, chalky earth, strawberry. 100% consistency, with a touch of cedar, smoke. Such a beautiful combination of site and winemaking. — 9 years ago
