Much richer than the Santa Barbara, older and better vines I'm told.

Low level TCA on the nose was overwhelming the fruit. Lemon pie and tight acid on the palate. Disappointing result from what was probably a well constructed wine.

Wet grass on nose. Full, dry, acidic. Pears, lemons on palate. Long acidic finish. When I tasted in Lompoc I preferred 2011...still do.
