Byron - Pinot Noir Santa Barbara County Sierra Madre Vineyards 2006 (750ml) Uco Valley Manual harvest in late SeptemberCritical Acclaim 92 points Wine Enthusiast The vineyard has had a long, checkered history, and Byron has dipped into it for many years for Pinot Noir that's almost always compelling. Their 06 is a dark, full bodied wine. It's dense in young, jammy black cherry and mocha fruit and very spicy. Feels dramatically rich and complex, and should develop bottle nuance over the next six years.
