@David L bought it on a whim and it was really good. Actually got much better as it opened up

I think I give it 91 points. Better as it opened up and warmed up. IMO

8.9

Bright and breezy with good acidity and structure. Sweet on the palette with no sharp edges. Lots of cola and cinnamon. I consider this a step up from the Etude regular pinot. — 8 years ago

@Ron R , I have always passed on this; looks like the central coast version is topping Carneros in your opinion. Will need to try it!

Hartley-Ostini Hitching Post

Hometown Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir 2012

I always have enjoyed the wines of Hartley Ostini. Found this today for $16.99. What a bargain. Dark cherry turning to strawberry finishing about an hour and a half later with balanced spice and dark fruit. Beautiful wine. Caution: you may want more than one bottle. — 10 years ago
