Vibrant aromas of guava peel and cut grass meet with a piquant kick of jalapaño zest on the nose of this single-vineyard bottling. The palate is tense in structure, presenting lime zest and green apple flavors against a wet-sidewalk minerality. — M.K.

The 2022 Pinot Noir La Encantada Vineyard is a boisterous, explosive wine that captures the more exuberant side of the Sta. Rita Hills. A burst of dark red/purplish fruit, lavender, rose petal, mint and pomegranate washes across the palate. There's quite a bit of substance and poise here. This is such a gorgeous and complete Pinot.

Responsible Bottle (594g; 20.9oz). Darker in both color and aromas with darker fruit and some clove. A bit heavy on the palate but lightens up with a healthy dose of acidity on the mid-palate. Lengthy finish. A bigger style, but very well done.

A touch of cinnamon and cardamom combine with lovely red fruit on the nose. Subtle, initially but with lovely balance and weight. A gorgeous wine.
