The Fiddlestix Vineyard is located at mile marker 7.28 on Santa Rosa Road in Lompoc, California, which is situated in the Sta. Rita Hills AVA. In the mid-90's Kathy Joseph of Fiddlehead Cellars, along with the viticultural icon Taz Steinhauer, acquired the 133-acre, former flower farm, across Santa Rosa Road from the Sanford & Benedict Vineyard, and in 1998 they planted 100 acres of Pinot Noir. Aside from the small amount earmarked for Fiddlehead's own production, much of the vineyard is contracted to other producers, including Ampelos, Ancien, Anglim, Arcadian, Bonaccorsi, Dragonette, Jonata, Ken Brown, Hartley-Ostini Hitching Post, Gainey, Ortman, Pali, Paul Lato, Prodigal, RN Estate, Rusack, Summerland, Tyler, Vogelzang, Wedell , and TAZ, not to mention Etude.
Opens with an austere earth note in a tone reminiscent of Barbaresco, and in the words of Miles Raymond, it's "tighter than a nun's ass." 45 minutes later, though, and it's singing and juicy. Black cherry, but not overripe, leads this medium bodied, pungent thinker, while a virtual greenhouse of floral shades help twist and shape its direction. Secondary dusty earth and walnut skin reveal the source of its austerity. True to its terroir, there's a tertiary layer of spice and rocks that provides the depth needed to go from good to great. — 7 years ago

2005 vintage with tempura mushrooms at RN 74 — 11 years ago
In a great place rn. Tannins have softened, balanced, soft mouthfeel. Too high alcohol for me (15%), but it carries it well and is enjoyable nonetheless. A straight forward wine but a nice pairing with house of prime rib — 6 years ago
Yum City. Population: Me, rn. Delicious sort of lemon drop candy and tropical fruits happening. Sugar and acid. Tasted great with Szechuan takeout and the brie I ate later. — 7 years ago
Really crushing on this gamay rn. Maybe because it's actually raining in LA. Maybe because Frank Ocean is providing the perfect soundtrack. Or maybe, just maybe, because it's plain out yummy. — 7 years ago

Bouteille exceptionnelle car terroir de Bourgogne à l'Est de la RN 74 et pourtant avec de petits rendements et une vinification hors pair : vin cristallin avec des goûts de minéral et de roche rappelant Roulotte ou Coche-Dury !

Solid balance and clear Dundee terroir. Oak a bit heavy handed for a Pinot of this light extraction. Will likely improve with time in the bottle. Brambly funk rn. — 6 years ago
