"Soothing tannins embrace crushed rose petals, juicy mixed cherries and forest fruit, all dusted by star anise and fennel seeds. An underpinning of tilled earth and minerals is elegant and savory. Drink or hold."

"The 2023 Pinot Noir (Santa Barbara County) is from Kick-on, Drum Canyon and Sanford & Benedict. It's an archetypal Santa Barbara Pinot. Pure, sweet red fruit unfurls in an expressive, calibrated wine of elegance, clarity and mineral nuance. The balance and finesse are undeniable here. As with all of these wines, the quality-to-price ratio is excellent."

"The 2022 Pinot Noir (Santa Barbara County) is a classy, polished wine. Crushed red berry fruit, spice, cedar and rose petal are all nicely lifted."

"The 2022 Pinot Noir Santa Barbara County is composed predominantly of Drum Canyon fruit, with smaller portions of Kick-on Ranch and Sanford & Benedict. The aromas are bright, pure and savory, seamlessly transitioning to a velvety yet spry palate that finishes with subtly chalky tannins. In keeping with the Tatomer style, there is a precision and clarity on display here that is enthralling and impressive."
