The more translucent, ruby-colored 2017 Pinot Noir Julia's Vineyard comes from a vineyard in the Santa Maria Valley and was all destemmed before spending 16 months in 44% new French oak. Classic raspberry, forest floor, sweet spice, and sappy floral notes all flow to a medium-bodied, vibrant, incredibly classy effort. It's balanced, has integrated acidity, and a great finish. It’s another terrific Pinot Noir from Santa Barbara County that’s going to evolve for at least a decade.

The 2017 Pinot Noir Julia's Vineyard is lithe, sensual and quite delicate, with pretty floral and savory notes that give the wine its distinctive upper register. Sweet dried cherry, dried flowers, mint and licorice add nuance. In the glass, the Julia's is a touch ethereal and fleeting. I would prefer to drink it sooner rather than later.
