Based in Santa Maria Valley, Labyrinth Presqu’ile Clone 667 Pinot noir is a Santa Maria classic.
The winemaker from Australia, has been making wine here since 1997. His wife was the original winemaker for Hitching Post.
The clone 667 is from the south side of Santa Maria Valley, which is the cool zone and you can tell by the beautiful acid in this wine. Bright tangy cherry, 100% whole cluster, rich brown sugar, and zingy fruit.
I love this pinot! The tangerine notes on the finish make it a winner! Retailing for $50, it’s a great splurge and I love the salinity on the finish.
