Brandon Farrell's Notes:
I am very excited to present this Pinot Noir to the world. This wine punches far beyond its weight and offers a complex Pinot that will compete with anything in the market in terms of QPR (Quality to Price Ratio). This particular cuvée is mostly Santa Maria fruit, which typically shows more red cherry with spicy aromatics.
We did blend in some bolder fruits & more structured Pinots from other regions in Santa Barbara that added a darker, high-toned cherry flavor and floral notes. All said and done, this is a beautiful Pinot Noir that has layers of complexity without the car payment that so many great Pinot Noirs now carry. I designed the label to express this concept with an explosion of red & dark cherries!
