2018 BARDEN SANTA RITA HILLS PINOT NOIR "The 2018 Pinot Noir Barden (Sta. Rita Hills) balances the natural generosity of the appellation with Doug Margerum’s preference for wines of restraint. Floral, blood orange and spice accents add nuance to the bright red raspberry fruit in this impeccably balanced, alluring Pinot Noir. The 2018 will be irresistible upon release.” 93 Points "Hearty aromas of boysenberry, singed meat, rosemary and cardamom make for a heady nose on this appellation blend. The palate is driven by spice and herb, showing nutmeg, rosemary and pine needle, alongside the dark-plum core of fruit." 92 Points
