"From a site located on the eastern side of the appellation, the 2016 Pinot Noir Pence saw the standard destemming and 20 months in 25% new French oak. Tons of classic Sta. Rita Hills marine and salinity all jump from the glass of this beauty, which has terrific cherry and strawberry fruits, medium body, a seamless, elegant texture, and integrated acidity. This is a brilliant, classic Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir that does everything right. (Drink between 2019-2027)." - Jeb Dunnuck, 95JD
