"A lighter hue in the glass, this bottling is layered with the herbally exciting nose in peppercorn, bay leaf, red currant, and cranberry."

Tasting Notes

The deep garnet color lures you into this crown jewel Pinot Noir, known for fruit forward expression.

Delicate tannins add to the sensory expression. 

Vineyard Notes

Rancho Santa Rosa Vineyard is owned by Bill Foley Family Wines and is located between Lompoc and Buellton on Highway 246. It was planted like a quilt of many small vineyards, as each block was meticulously planted to just the right varietal, rootstock and clone for that particular slope and soil. There are 225 acres planted with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Flying Goat has been sourcing grapes from the vineyard since 2002.
