Description
Your gateway to Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir. Many of the wines from this coastal region remain under the radar making them what critic after critic have declared to be "superb values". Nielson is a poster child for Santa Barbara County's cool, Cali-vibes with notes of brambly red fruit and cherry, echoed by rose petal, tea leaf and spice. It's a firm and savory red wine with a slight caramel note that will leave you anticipating your next sip.

This red wine has an elegant bouquet of lifted red fruit, tea leaf, and caramel, with flavors of red fruit and earth. The wine has a density and weight to it that gives a luxurious mouthfeel with a savory quality.

RECENT TASTING NOTES
A sturdy, straightforward wine with good, ripe black fruits and meaty, spicy accents on a generous texture. Light tannins and a rather full body give a relaxed mouth-feel. Drink now.
