Returning with a new vintage after last year’s impressive debut, CuratedCravings™ Reserve Santa Barbara Pinot Noir Lot 241 is one of those wines that makes you want to close your eyes and consider every slow, thoughtful sip. Our trusted winery partner carefully crafts it with grapes grown in the coastal foothills of California’s Santa Barbara County, where foggy mornings, sunny days, and cool, breezy evenings make an especially hospitable environment for growing Pinot Noir grapes. It’s a terroir you can readily taste in this wine’s rich and fruity (yet still deliciously understated) profile of Bing cherries, cola, and toasty, vanilla-tinged oak. As we said, you’re really going to want to savor this one—we recommend doing so alongside a grilled, marinated flank steak, a well-seasoned cut of salmon, or a plate of hors d’oeuvres like our Savory Squash Pastry Bites. With its light-to-medium body, bright acidity, and silky, fruit-forward finish, it also makes an excellent accompaniment to roast poultry of all kinds. Whether it’s for a family feast, a dinner party with a few friends, or simply enjoying solo while watching an autumnal sunset, CuratedCravings™ Reserve Santa Barbara Pinot is always an excellent choice.
