4.1 Vivino Stars

If there’s one thing I can tell you about Pinot from the La Encantada vineyard, it’s that they’re GOOD. They’re also usually expensive. But not today!

Today, you can grab a fantastic Pinot from coveted Sta. Rita Hills AVA terroir for 45% off the winery price! Just look at what vineyards surround this place: Sea Smoke, Rinconada, Fiddlestix, and Sanford.

There’s little—actually NO—doubt that winemaker Adam Lee is an absolute master of teasing out the hidden nuances of single-vineyard Pinot Noir. So when he finally got his hands on fruit from the legendary La Encantada vineyard in Sta. Rita Hills, wine lovers and critics perked up and took notice! As expected, Lee delivered the goods, serving up a red that Vinous called “vibrant and focused,” and Jeb Dunnuck lauded as “a beautiful, complex wine.” This offer’s sub-$35 bottle price puts La Encantada within your reach like never before, at a fraction of the cost of single-vineyard designates from the likes of Tyler ($74+), Ken Brown ($56+) and Longoria ($70)! Take advantage while you still can!

Vinous: 93 Points
“Lurid ruby. Vibrant and focused on the nose displaying intense red berry preserve Asian spice and floral scents and a touch of smoky minerality. Juicy and sharply focused on the palate offering lively raspberry and bitter cherry flavors that deepen and unfurl steadily with aeration. Fine-grained tannins add framework and closing grip to the finish which echoes the red fruit and mineral notes.”

Wine Enthusiast: 92 Points
“Quite subtle at first on the nose, this bottling offers baked red-cherry aromas and a dusting of soil with some swirling. The palate blends dark red cherry with touches of sagebrush and wild thyme, lifted by a hint of white pepper.”
