Pinot Noir from Santa Barbara County tends toward a cooler, coastal expression of the grape, with bright red fruit and a lift of acidity that keeps it from turning heavy. This 2023 bottling from Liquid Farm works in that idiom, a California Pinot built more for freshness and detail than for weight.

The 2023 Pinot Noir SBC is open for business today. It's absolutely oozing with Sta. Rita Hills character. Spiced florals, leather, black pepper and rich raspberry fruit unfurl generously in the glass, maintaining a cool-toned character and notable precision. A bit of stems (10%) adds lift and energy throughout. You can really sink your teeth into this fleshy, textured Pinot. (Vinous)
Tasted shortly after bottling, the 2023 Pinot Noir Santa Barbara County is already showing quite well, with aromas of rhubarb, pomegranate and fresh herbs. The palate is silky and wonderfully spry, finishing with a weightless intensity and elegant, fine-grained tannins. It's an impressive introduction to the red wines of Liquid Farm.

Aged 10 months in 15% new French oak, the 2023 Pinot Noir SBC offers piercing aromas of raspberries, spring flowers, mint, and baking spices. It's medium-bodied, supple, and elegant on the palate, with a vibrant, focused mouthfeel, integrated acidity, and soft tannins. This pretty Pinot Noir is perfect for drinking over the coming 4-6 years. Drink 2025-2031. (Jeb Dunnuck, September 2025)
