The 2023 Lloyd Pinot Noir from Sta. Rita Hills, Santa Barbara County, pours a deep ruby hue with lifted aromas of black cherry, ripe raspberry, and a hint of baking spice. On the palate, layers of red and black berries unfold alongside notes of vanilla, cocoa, and subtle earthiness. A velvety texture and refined tannins are balanced by vibrant acidity, bringing freshness and energy to the wine. The finish is long and elegant, leaving lingering traces of fruit and delicate oak spice.
