COMMENTARY: The 2019 Union Sacré Central Coast Pinot Noir is on point as it delivers a balanced and satisfying experience. TASTING NOTES: This wine shows up with excellent purity of red and black fruit and hints of licorice and savory spices. Enjoy it with corned beef and perfectly cooked cabbage. (Tasted: April 20, 2021, San Francisco, CA)
Pinot Noir is the second-most planted grape in Santa Barbara County, just behind Chardonnay. It thrives in cooler areas of the region, namely in the of the Sta. Rita Hills, which is part of Santa Barbara’s larger Santa Ynez Valley sub-appellation. Thought for decades to be too cool for viticulture, Sta. Rita Hills began to gain notoriety in the 1970’s, thanks to the pioneering work of Richard Sandford and Michael Benedict, among others.
Santa Barbara Pinot Noir dances across the palate with vivid red fruit and spice. Precision, bright acidity, elegance and fruit-driven silkiness make Santa Barbara Pinot delightfully enjoyable, whether on their own or with a variety of dishes.
