This is a sophisticated, harmonious blend of five great vineyards from two appellations in Santa Barbara County: Solomon Hills Vineyard and Gold Coast Vineyard from Santa Maria Valley blend beautifully with Peake Ranch, Zotovich, and Drum Canyon Vineyards from Sta. Rita Hills. Each vineyard brings to this blend nuances of its appellation. Santa Maria Valley shows through in the fragrant and perfumed nose with a touch of spice, while Sta. Rita Hills brings additional structure, weight, and power.
The 2024 Matinee is perfumed and inviting, revealing pomegranate, Cherry Icee, plum, raspberry, and strawberry framed by pipe tobacco, turned earth, cola, graphite minerality, black tea, and warm spices of nutmeg, cinnamon, and clove, plus hibiscus tea nuance.
The palate shows silky texture with red fruit purity, gentle structure, and fine tannins that build depth without weight. It carries balanced energy and savory complexity to a resonant, clean finish. Reflecting careful artisanal winemaking and Santa Maria character, this Pinot Noir offers elegance and nuance.
