![Yesterday I finally wrapped up a major decluttering project. Does anyone else find it therapeutic to clean??🤷♀️ I chose this special wine I'd been saving to mark the occasion. Paradise Springs Santa Barbara 2014 Pinot Noir. This winery brand boasts a very unique claim to fame. . .
[]
I've visited Paradise Springs Winery and enjoyed many of their wines. They are one of my favorite Virginia wine makers. They opened their doors in Clifton, Virginia in 2007, but by 2013 had grown from producing 1,300 cases annually to 12,000. With demand outpacing the supply of fruit in Virginia, founder Kirk Wiles headed west. In 2014 the Paradise Springs doors opened in Santa Barbara making it the first bicoastal winery brand in the United States.🍷🥂👏

This 2014 Pinot Noir from Sta. Rita Hills is from their inaugural vintage and if it's any indication of things to come--the future is promising! It was balanced and delightful with smooth tannins and medium plus acidity. The nose opened with baking spices and black pepper while the palate was a nice dance of red fruits including strawberry, cherry, and red raspberry with a little hint of spice. The finish was long and enjoyable but not heavy handed. I am looking forward to trying more wines from the Santa Barbara location!🍷🥂
