This bottling is comprised of 100% estate Pinot Noir from three vineyards within the AVA: 3D, Machado and Hapgood all contribute to the wine which exhibits a drive, richness and pedigree expressive of this special growing area coupled with the purity of fruit and firm structure which have been the trademark of Brewer - Clifton. Aromas of pomegranate, white tea, and raspberry lead to flavors of dried fig, white truffle, and ripe cherry. Rooibos Tea, and savory texture.
Founded in 1996, Brewer-Clifton wines are a reflection of the geographic, geologic and climatic uniqueness of California’s Sta. Rita Hills appellation in Santa Barbara County. Founder and Winemaker Greg Brewer has spent the entirety of his three-decade career dedicated to crafting cool-climate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from this finite stretch of land. One of the coolest climates on the west coast, Sta. Rita Hills of Santa Barbara County enjoys the longest growing season, making this a paradise for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The quality of the vineyards and grapes grown here is rivaled only by the absolute beauty of the region itself. The unique transverse valleys funnel maritime influences through a small appellation filled with with variations in soil, aspect and micro-climates to produce sites of character and distinction. The folks at Brewer Clifton feel incredibly fortunate to work and farm in this exceptional winegrowing region.

This medium ruby colored Pinot Noir features aromas of pomegranate, bing cherries, and orange zest, with earthy undertones. The palate is elegant and fresh with silky tannins, generous red fruit and a touch of acidity. The beautiful finish is long and layered. A text book expression of Central Coast Pinot Noir!
