title: Hug 2013 Rancho Ontiveros Pinot Noir (Santa Barbara County)
description: This is a head-turning Pinot Noir due to its darkness and depth. An intense crushed slate and loamy soil minerality dominates the nose, like serving pepper-dusted blackberry pie in a dark cave. A low-simmering acidity powers the almost Syrah-like sip, where boysenberry and elderberry meet with a roasted meat quality.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Rancho Ontiveros
