SBC Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir 2018

Sourced from several sites throughout Santa Barbara County, this shows off very perfumed red fruits that mingle with tones of red rose petal, wet stone and orange rind on this beautiful bouquet. The palate is plush, showing a seamless texture and great sense of mouthfeel. Velvety tannins line the core of guava puree, cran-orange and wild strawberry with nice black tea and salty terroir. Complex, layered and truly delicious now at the four year mark, this outstanding new wine will provide drinking enjoyment for a decade or more to come. Drink 2020-2033- 93 — 6 years ago

Santa Barbara County Grenache 2015

Cool Grenache! Looks red/orange-brown in the glass and drinks with lots of acid and restrained cran fruit. Not boring like many Grenache - almost like a California frappato. D&m before camp trip — 9 years ago

Storm Wines

Duvarita Vineyard Pinot Noir 2014

Ok bought 1 bottle on-line from K& L wines after i had this camping in Big Sur. Barnyard for sure some Brettanomyces but in a good way. Tastes young/light and ridiculously fresh i doubt it will gain weight over time. Cinnamon and concord grapes. A fantastic barbecue drink now wine i think lamb sausages would be great. Pricy but unique so if you want a low % Pinot which tastes old world like in the Santa Barbara region this is your ticket but alas i will review the Tatomer pinot's next week. — 9 years ago

Cobolorum Petillant Naturel Riesling 2019

Finally got our couch! And our coffee table lesgoooo!

Sage leaf, orange zest, honey in the bouquet. And a little funk.

Wow. Zing! Karpow! Boom! I call this a comic book wine because it literally jumps off the page and into your taste buds.

Not bad at all. Thanks NYT.

Au Bon Climat

Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir 2014

Color is pale pink, moving to orange at the rim; shows much, much more age then its two years. Smell is instantly earthy, with some alcohol and some fruit, and very slight background of oak; again, nose suggests age, so maybe this bottle has benefited from its improper storage. Taste confirms oak and really brings out the fruit, most prominent for me is raisin; medium acid with light tannins and dry, earthy finish. Delicious and balanced. This is the best American wine I've had at this price (about $19) — 10 years ago
