TAZ Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir 2002
Pinot Noir
from Central Coast, California
winemaker's notes:
In blending the Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir, we pulled together fruit from Santa Maria Valley and the Santa Rita Hills-two very different sites with contrasting signatures. The Fiddlestix Vineyard in Santa Rita gives dark fruits and brooding flavors, a concentrated and rich expression of Pinot Noir. The North CanyonVineyard in Santa Maria Valley delivers more delicate accents, with soft, pretty cinnamon and strawberry notes. When blended, you get a blackberry burst in the wine with cola spice and juicy jammy berry notes supported by a balancing act of tannins and structure. The resulting wine has breadth and an evenness we strive for with this tricky variety. -Natasha Boffman, Winemaker

This is one of the finest Pinots I have tasted from 02'. I picked up 6 more bottles and have a bottle of the 03' laying down waiting. Give it a try, if you're a Pinot lover...get ready to fall in love.
