SeaGlass, Santa Barbara County (California) Pinot Noir 2013

Jun 5, 2015

By Rich Cook

Excellent Pinot Noir under twenty five dollars is something to shout about, so here goes:  TWELVE DOLLARS FULL RETAIL FOR THIS?  SIGN ME UP!  Bright cherry, rose petal, and soft spice aromas lead to a palate that delivers on the promise of the nose with food friendly acidity and a long finish that refreshes with a light citric note.  Sounds like a review of a much more expensive wine, doesn’t it?  You’ll find this at the local grocery, likely for under ten dollars.  Way to go!  A Platinum Award winner at the 2015 Critics Challenge International Wine Competition.
