Ever wonder what people are talking about when they say a wine has a personality? For years the Sanford pinot noir was instantly recognizable for its spicy fragrance and smooth, elegant mouthfeel. Well, Richard Sanford has a new winery, but his former winery's personality came with him and can be found now in Alma Rosa Pinot. Classic spicy nose of great complexity and warmth. Beautiful balance and smoothness are characteristics that are deftly supported by good acidity, sweet cherries and berries in the deep fruit flavors, and a long finish. This defines what a great Santa Barbara pinot is all about - or should be.
