2022 Deep Sea Pinot Noir

The Pinot Noir grapes for this vintage of Deep Sea Pinot Noir are sourced from an acclaimed Los Alamos Vineyard site. Original cuttings for this vineyard were brought over from Europe 25 years ago. Unlike the rosé version of this delightful wine, the Pinot Noir for the “Diving Helmet” label is fermented on the skins to obtain maximum tannin and pigment (coloration). The ruby red color and good structure of this wine come from the time it spends macerating on the skins. Our classic Santa Barbara Pinot Noir offers delicate fruit notes of crushed cherries and ripe strawberry. Aromas of toasted vanilla whisper from the glass, followed by pomegranate, cherry jam and a bright cranberry note on the finish. Our 2022 offers a unique and complex blend of fresh red fruit flavors, soft tannins and excellent structure.
