2023 OLG Acolytes Pinot Noir-Santa Barbara County

A medium ruby core with a vivid rose rim, the 2023 Acolytes Pinot Noir opens with beguiling aromatics most associated with the varietal—ripe cherry, muddled strawberry, sandalwood and baking spices. The palate reveals layers upon layers of ripe red and blue fruits along with a hint of cedar and white pepper. Bright on the finish, the wine closes at length with a guilty hint of baked cherry turnover.
