Overall this Pinot is good but not great. It’s silky smooth but is slightly lacking in fruit. There are hints of tart 
red berry flavors and a touch of spice. The finish is short and the tannins are still heavy on the end. The Botella vineyard has rich, well-drained clay loam soil. The site features southern exposure and the cool microclimate of the Santa Ynez River canyon which is in the Santa Rite Hills AVA.
