2020 Pinot Noir, John Sebastiano Vineyard

"A step up, the 2020 Pinot Noir John Sebastiano Vineyard comes from a site on the eastern side of the Sta. Rita Hills. It has a smoky nose of ripe red and black fruits, spring flowers, and underbrush. This carries to a pure, vibrant, focused Pinot Noir with good acidity, silky tannins, and a great finish. It's one of my favorites in the lineup." JebDunnuck.com, 93 Points

"The 2020 Pinot Noir John Sebastiano is a wild, potent wine. Black cherry, game, tobacco, licorice and gravel add to an impression of burly intensity that is reinforced by the potent tannins. The JSV feels stressed today, either because of the heat of the year or its bottling about two months before this tasting. Vinous, 90 Points
