The 2023 Pinot Noir The Rhythm, from Riverbench in the Santa Maria Valley, turns out classic Santa Maria savory undertones of crushed rocks, tobacco and iron, all juxtaposed against sweet, ripe cherry fruit in a midweight frame. It's an excellent combination. Rounded and soft around the edges, the 2023 wraps up with a long, leather-tinged finish. It's a very complete wine.

A late-harvest year with bountiful winter rains, cool wet spring and drawn-out flowering. Vintners who waited into late October made stunning wines with gorgeous aromas, succulence, freshness and delineation
