COMMENTARY: The 2015 Hitching Post Hometown Pinot Noir is produced for those who enjoy their wine fresh out of the chute. TASTING NOTES: This wine is bright and approachable. Its aromas and flavors of red fruit and dried leather make it good choice with a bacon-wrapped grilled cheeseburger. (Tasted: August 20, 2018, San Francisco, CA)

Pinot Noir is the second-most planted grape in Santa Barbara County, just behind Chardonnay. It thrives in cooler areas of the region, namely in the of the Sta. Rita Hills, which is part of Santa Barbara’s larger Santa Ynez Valley sub-appellation. Thought for decades to be too cool for viticulture, Sta. Rita Hills began to gain notoriety in the 1970’s, thanks to the pioneering work of Richard Sandford and Michael Benedict, among others.
Santa Barbara Pinot Noir dances across the palate with vivid red fruit and spice. Precision, bright acidity, elegance and fruit-driven silkiness make Santa Barbara Pinot delightfully enjoyable, whether on their own or with a variety of dishes.
