2024 OLG Acolytes Pinot Noir, Santa Barbara County
The 2023 Acolytes Pinot Noir, by Our Lady of Guadalupe Winery (OLG) and winemaker Dave Phinney, is a vibrant, medium ruby Pinot with enticing aromas of ripe cherry, strawberry, sandalwood, and baking spices, offering layers of red/blue fruit, cedar, white pepper, and a bright, spicy finish with hints of cherry turnover on the palate, showcasing good complexity and structure typical of California Pinots from the promising 2023 vintage.
