This is the La Encantada Vineyard Pinot and might be one of the best from this producer. Nice fruit forward of black cherry, cola, star anise and cracked pepper. Love the earthy and floral nose of this single-vineyard wine. Big fan of this. Not so much on the other vineyards. — 2 days ago

2022 vintage. Tasted with the winemaker Matt Brady. Nearly equal (and maybe better) to the 2021 vintage. Jumped at the 2021 effort so no room for this one but absolutely delicious follow-up. Spice, tannins, fruit all in balance and verry harmonious. It’s Pinots like this that keep me sold on the Santa Rita Hills as dayumed likely the best pinot-producing area in CA. 03.12.25 — 8 months ago

From the winemaker: Radian Vineyard is a radical and challenging site with high altitudes, vertical canyons, and difficult soil compositions. A stressed vineyard makes the best wines. Interesting cola or cherry cola on the nose. Earthy and medium bodied with a balance of fruit and a damp soil. Soft tannins and a nice finish. — a month ago
