Santa Barbara Winery Santa Barbara Pinot Noir 2017 Review
This is a nice, balanced, easy-drinking Pinot Noir. It has a welcome leanness to it, with high acidity pronouncing its punchy fruit that smells like cherries and soil. You only need some nibbles with this bottle after it’s seen about 20 minutes in the fridge for a slight chill.
