2021 PINOT NOIR
PRESQU'ILE VINEYARD
SANTA MARIA VALLEY
Presqu'ile Vineyard is organically farmed and located on the Solomon Hills in the Santa Maria Valley where the fog lifts late morning and the afternoon breeze blows from the Pacific. This wine is the result of traditional methods, a great vineyard and a love for Old World wines. It is a wine exemplifying poise and elegance. It showcases not only the purity of fruit that can be found in Santa Maria, but also alluring baking spice and black tea notes.
Tasting Notes
Bright red fruit, Bing cherry, hard spice and sandalwood dominate the nose. Clove and raspberry fill out the well-balanced palate.
"The 2021 Pinot Noir Presqu'ile Vineyard is a rich, fruity wine with tons of upfront appeal. Juicy red cherry fruit, pomegranate, spice, new leather and dried herbs all grace this exquisite, layered Pinot Noir. The decision to move away from whole cluster in this bottling is a plus. Sweet floral and savory notes grace the long, nuanced finish." -Antonio Galloni, Vinous

2021 PINOT NOIR
DONNACHADH VINEYARD
STA. RITA HILLS
The Donnachadh Vineyard (pronounced "done uh kah") is located in the heart of Sta. Rita Hills on Santa Rosa Road. This Pinot Noir is planted on a steep hillside block on marine-derived shale with high clay content, rock and cobble. Cool winds from the Pacific Ocean make for challenging conditions which results in smaller yields on this site.
Tasting Notes
Plum, fresh berry notes and underbrush dominate the nose with hints of hard spice and graphite. Dark fruit lingers long and vibrant on the palate with earthy undertones.

2021 PINOT NOIR
DUVARITA VINEYARD
SANTA BARBARA COUNTY
Duvarita is six miles from the Pacific Ocean, making it one of the closest to the ocean in Santa Barbara County. Biodynamically grown grapes, meticulous winemaking and a combination of three Dijon clones create a wine that captures both vintage and site.
Tasting Notes
Blackberry and plum, turned earth, leather and musk fill the nose. Soft delicate dark fruit and fine tannin fill out the elegant palate.
"The 2021 Pinot Noir Duvarita Vineyard is a wine of real depth and dimension. Dark blue/purplish fruit, lavender, spice, menthol and licorice all race across the palate. Painfully low yields produced a Pinot of undeniable class and textural intensity. A healthy dollop of whole cluster (30%) adds complexity without dominating the balance." Antonio Galloni, Vinous

2020 PINOT NOIR
SANFORD & BENEDICT VINEYARD
STA. RITA HILLS
Sanford and Benedict Vineyard is located in close proximity to Donnachadh Vineyard in the heart of Sta. Rita Hills. This iconic vineyard was first planted in 1971 on its own root stock, making it one of the oldest Pinot Noir vines in Santa Barbara County.
Tasting Notes
"A new wine from this range, the 2020 Pinot Noir Sanford & Benedict is stellar. All the richness of this site comes through loud and clear. This is by far the most exuberant of the Storm wines. Even so, it preserves tons of freshness and energy while capturing so much of what makes S&B such a compelling site. Readers who can find it should not hesitate. It is very obviously one of the wines of the vintage." Antonio Galloni, Vinous
