Tasting Notes:
Though our estate vineyard shares the same soil as the SLH AVA- Arroyo Gravelly Loam and Hanford Gravelly Sandy Loam- its slightly lower altitude gives it a unique microclimate with cooler nights and warmer days. Deep and dense, the 2015 San Saba Pinot Noir has expansive aromas of spice box that join forest floor and cherry cola on the nose. Structured, vibrant, and savory, this rich Pinot Noir offers bold flavors of spicy dark fruit along with layers of pleasing earthiness and acidity that move effortlessly into a persistent finish.
