Good Life Guy’s Wine of the Week:
2018 Pinot Society Santa Barbara County “The Tumult” Pinot Noir
This selection, The Tumult, comes from Santa Barbara County. Nestled in between two mountain ranges, the valley becomes flooded with cool air and fog from the tumultuous Pacific Ocean as it blows in through a gap in the western range. Aromas of red berries open to sweet-tart flavors of Bing cherry and pomegranate, moderated by hints of bittersweet chocolate to create a balanced and complex wine. 14.5% ABV

| Violet, lilac and lavender aromas meet with boysenberry and sandalwood on the nose of this bottling. It’s well structured on the palate, blending fresh pomegranate, rose petal and strong wood flavors into a snappy expression. |
