A  96 Point MUST HAVE Red for your cellar


The Story: Will Henry and Lane Tanner share a common vision – to make wines from the best cool-climate vineyards in Santa Barbara County, and to follow a regimen consistent with California’s early days of hands-on, honest winemaking. The duo asserts that the most balanced (and thus memorable) wines are made from fruit that is picked relatively early on the harvest calendar, the end result being a wine that is livelier on the palate, deeper in complexity, lower in alcohol, and more worthy of cellaring

WS 96 Points: “"Aromas of black raspberry, wet slate, and crumpled carnations are lathered in toasty oak on the nose of this wine. The palate is loaded with fresh red fruit and rose-petal flavors, but there's a rocky line of minerality and a tannic tension that pumps it to the next level”

Winemaker Notes: “Aromas of black raspberry, wet slate, and crumpled carnations are lathered in toasty oak on the nose of this wine.

This 2018 vintage is everything I expect from S & B. It is not for the faint of heart. For those of you that like a more refined PN, please store this away for 5 to 17 years. For you headbangers out there, drink it now! I would still give it an hour or two to breathe but…trust me…it’s a blockbuster in a bottle!” 99 cases produced. A Pinot Noir with great aging potential. Drink now through 2040 or beyond.”
