Benefiting from the unique transverse mountain ranges of Santa Barbara County, which funnel cool Pacific breezes and afternoon fog directly into the vineyards, the grapes undergo a long, slow ripening period. Matured thoughtfully in seasoned French oak, it delivers a harmonious core of bright red berries, subtle earthiness, and delicate floral nuances, making it both immediately enjoyable and remarkably food-friendly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVineyard \u0026amp; Production\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit is hand-harvested from select cool-climate vineyards cultivated on limestone, clay, and sandy loam soils. Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes are rigorously sorted, with a portion kept as whole clusters to enhance structural complexity and spice. Spontaneous fermentation occurs using native yeasts, followed by gentle hand punch-downs to extract fine-grained tannins and vibrant colour. The wine matures for around twelve to fourteen months in French oak barrels, a low proportion of which is new, allowing the pure expression of Santa Barbara fruit to remain front and centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it displays a radiant ruby hue. The nose opens with an expressive bouquet of fresh wild strawberries, sour red cherries, and pomegranate, interwoven with notes of crushed rose petals, dried sage, orange peel, and subtle baking spices. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, lithe, and supple, offering concentrated red fruit flavours supported by ultra-fine, chalky tannins and a lively beam of coastal acidity that drives into a long, fragrant finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePerfect Pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its vibrant red fruit core, refined structure, and crisp natural acidity, this Santa Barbara Pinot Noir is exceptionally versatile at the dining table. It pairs magnificently with pan-seared duck breast with cherry reduction, roasted rack of lamb, seared salmon fillets, and braised pork tenderloin. It is also an outstanding match for wild mushroom risotto, roasted root vegetables, and medium-aged cheeses such as Gruyère, Comté, or Saint-Nectaire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGrape Varieties\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100% Pinot Noir\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Drink Finder","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55230897684823,"sku":"123137","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0899\/6824\/7127\/files\/Deovlet-Pinot-Noir-Santa-Barbara-County-2021-75cl.jpg?v=1791198344","url":"https:\/\/www.drinkfinder.co.uk\/products\/deovlet-pinot-noir-santa-barbara-county-75cl","provider":"Drink Finder","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
