A joyously vibrant and energetic Californian Pinot Noir from the heartland of where the movie Sideways was filmed in Santa Barbara. Lip-smacking delicious cherry aromas and flavours. Medium-bodied and silky smooth. Pair with grilled chicken.

Pinot Noir food pairings: spaghetti and meatballs, vegetarian lasagne, roast turkey.

Terrific Turkey Wine

Reviews and Ratings

Andrew Bernardo rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

This is a steal for a Pinot. It’s everything you’d want, with luscious cherry and red raspberry fruit, along with dried cranberries, a whiff of fresh herb, red liquorice and crushed rose petals. 91 Points.
Greg Hughes rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Pinot Noir is famous for its ability to really show terroir. An adage you hear from growers (aside from how fickle it can be) is how you can grow Pinot vines in two plats across the street from one another and they will be very different. For Pinot, there is a sweet spot for consumers. A style, a place they usually gravitate towards. If you like soft, silky, ultra fruity Cali Pinot Noir, this one is a steal.
Not particularly deep in colour. Pale ruby, with some darker purple towards the centre.
Bright petunia, rosehip, cherry candy, and smooshed strawberry.
The flavours have some nice cocoa hints, but it is abundantly all about the silky texture and the fruit. Cherry and bumbleberry pie.
Santa Barbara is a sunny wine growing region that crafts some pretty fun wines. Pinot is a great cellar candidate normally, but this one's strength comes from its inherent fruitiness. The sun off the Californian coast has given it a wonderful ripeness. Maybe drink it over the next five years to preserve that.
Seaglass (2014) is a vibrant, medium-bodied Pinot Noir from Santa Barbera County. On the nose, black raspberries, cherry, violets, and cedar and on the palate the wine is just shy of off-dry with ripe red berries, blue florals and cake spice on this medium-length wine. Tannins are well-integrated and this wine is easy to enjoy. - Community Wine Reviews
