Lyric Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir

Rich but light lots black fruit and a hint knock chocolate and vanilla

Treasury Employee Store find for $10. One and done…not a big PN fan and this wouldn’t be one to repeat. Supposed to be $25 retail.

Pinot Noir from Santa Barbara. Too fruity for my tastes but overall balanced. Had it with beef and vegetables julienne

I like it but Colin does not. He can taste juicy/sour notes. We got this bottle from Napa Costco. Drank at the hotel.

This is the kind of Pinot that I don’t like. Having said that, it is not too shabby. It’s a bit too sour and funky nosed for my liking.

Bravo Etude, Bravo!
Outstanding execution here, textbook CA PN w/out being overdone or over extracted: just a gorgeous nose of beautifully ripe cherry, strawberry & red plum, generous warm baking spices, smoky tea, vanilla and more. Intoxicating nose mirrored on palate. Med bodied but so generous it drinks bigger. Smooth suave, freshness abounds, seamless through finish. Only minor point is length of finish gives this away as entry level, but for the price: buy a case.

A great value Pinot Noir from Etude in Santa Barbara County
