The Pairing - Pinot Noir - Santa Barbara

Overview: The Paring was born in 2006 out of a desire to explore, experiment and excite—without rules. Made from the vineyard blocks that are either too young or don't fit into the vintage style of the highly acclaimed JONATA and The Hilt wines—The Paring is a cut of each estate.  The Paring puts pedigree first, and then lets imagination take over.

The grapes are sourced primarily from three Santa Barbara regions on the vanguard:  Santa Ynez Valley, Sta. Rita Hills and Santa Maria Valley.

Offering immediate drinking pleasure without sacrificing the complexity and nuance that makes this grape so compelling. A wine brimming with seductive fruit alluring aromas and supple tannins. The consummate overachiever.

Tasting Notes: Completely seductive wine. Nose of blackberries and rosemary. Succulent and sweet red fruit. Savory notes and mouth coating tannins round out this harmonious and complete pinot noir.

Pairing: Fatty fish, roasted chicken
