This effort from Windrun exhibits the trademark ripeness of the Sta. Rita Hills, a cool coastal region in Santa Barbara County that is ideal for pinot noir and allows for long hang-time and flavor development on the vine. The concession to the cool climate is the bit of bite on the finish. Those are firm grape tannins that will soften over time. Platinum award-winner at the 2016 Sommelier Challenge International Wine Competition.
