Santa Barbara County

Full

Natural Cork

Whereas the 2021 was a ripe, full-throttle, dark-toned Pinot Noir, this vintage is more elegant and savoury, with notes of olive tapenade and decidedly red-fruited character accented by nuances of orange peel and smoky clove. Medium- to full-bodied, the palate is layered with brown spices that add complexity, and the wine finishes with great energy, marked by hints of coffee bean. Aged for 14 months in neutral French oak, it is bottled unfined and unfiltered. This wine is a collaboration between vintner David Green and winemaker Maayan Koschitsky, who also serves as Director of Winemaking at Atelier Melka.
