Violet Hill
2024 Santa Barbara Pinot Noir
VINEYARDS | This Pinot Noir from Santa Barbara County comes from different top regional sub-appellations, including the Santa Maria and Santa Ynez Valleys. The Santa Maria Valley benefits from cool winds and fog from the Pacific Ocean, with much of the cool air settling into the lower-lying basins. Just south of the Santa Maria Valley, the Santa Ynez Valley has a range of microclimates, from the cool and foggy Santa Rita Hills to the warmer Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara inland.
WINEMAKING | Primary fermentation in small vats is followed by malolactic conversion and ten months of aging in French oak and tank.
TASTING NOTES | Silky in texture with a plush mouthfeel, this wine unfolds with vibrant red and black berry flavors. Subtle accents of spice, cedar, and dried herbs lend depth and nuance. Fruit from Santa Ynez contributes weight and darker, riper tones, while Santa Maria fruit lifts the blend with brighter cherry notes and a savory, tea-like herbal
edge..
