The Paring Pinot Noir '22

The Paring Pinot Noir from Santa Barbara County is a smooth, deeply fruited wine that captivates with vibrant aromas of ripe red cherries, strawberries, and raspberries, complemented by hints of plum, spice, and subtle oak. The palate is well-balanced, offering a combination of fresh acidity and smooth tannins with flavors of red currant, cranberry, and a touch of minerality. The finish is long, elegant, and lightly oaked. Produced from small lots of fruit from the Salsipuedes estate vineyard, this Pinot Noir offers immediate drinking pleasure while maintaining complexity and nuance. The wine is crafted with native fermentations and minimal intervention, following the same high standards as the acclaimed Hilt and Jonata properties, though with a shorter aging process using stainless steel and neutral oak.
