title: Waltzing Bear 2005 Cargasacchi Jalama Vineyard Pinot Noir (Santa Barbara County)
description: Aged more than two years in 50% new French barrels, this wine smells and especially tastes too oaky, with caramel and toast notes that overwhelm the underlying wine. Below all that wood is a dry, crisp Pinot Noir with red currant flavors. Other wines sourced from this Santa Rita Hills vineyard have been outstanding.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Cargasacchi Jalama Vineyard
