2023 Busy Signal
"A focused, linear and relatively light red that offers bright red cherry and cranberry flavors, bracing acidity and moderate tannins. It's tight at first sip, then opens in the glass. Attractive for its restraint. Aged in 10% new oak barrels and other lightly used barrels, so the oak spice notes are subtle and supportive. Medium-bodied. Drink or hold. Screw cap." -James Suckling, 94JS
It is getting more and more difficult to find any pinot from Sta. Rita Hills under $50/bottle, especially a good one. This brand-new label was just launched by Adam Lee, founder/winemaker of Siduri winery and owner of Clarice and Beau Marchais labels. Notes of mushroom, black tea, white pepper and bacon swirl around through lovely red cherry and strawberry fruit. This is a wine you can open without breaking the bank and still feel impressed!
