Bonaccorsi 2019 Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir

Elevate your wine collection with Bonaccorsi’s 2019 Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir—a vibrant expression of California’s Central Coast terroir crafted for both immediate enjoyment and graceful aging. This meticulously produced bottling delivers a harmonious blend of lush fruit and refined complexity that resonates with Pinot Noir enthusiasts seeking balance without compromise.

Awarded 92 points by renowned critic Jeb Dunnuck, this wine captivates with its upfront charm of ripe raspberry and strawberry flavors framed by delicate floral hints and warm spice undertones. On the palate, it unfolds with polished elegance: crisp acidity cuts through its rich fruit core while supple tannins ensure smoothness, culminating in a finish that lingers with sophistication. Designed to shine over 5-7 years in your cellar or paired now with salmon or duck dishes, its approachable yet layered profile makes it equally suited for casual sips or special occasions.

The Bonaccorsi team’s expertise shines through in this twentieth vintage release. From first pour to last drop, this Pinot Noir reveals an intoxicating aroma of exotic fruits like pomegranate and candied ginger alongside aromatic spices such as cardamom—a sensory invitation before even tasting. The mouthfeel is lively yet nuanced: crystallized red fruits mingle with cool minty herbs and a touch of parsnip sweetness, creating a dynamic interplay between freshness and depth that sets it apart from more reserved styles of California Pinot Noir.

At 14.5% alcohol by volume, this wine strikes an ideal equilibrium between boldness and restraint—a hallmark of Santa Barbara County’s coastal climate influence on this varietal. Whether you’re exploring Central Coast wines or searching for an award-winning Pinot Noir that balances approachability with aging potential, this bottling offers exceptional value and character.

Pair its bright red fruit finish with roasted poultry or earthy mushrooms for a meal-enhancing experience—or simply savor its complexity as a testament to Bonaccorsi’s dedication to quality craftsmanship since their inaugural vintage decades ago.Price and availability may vary in-store; vintage date may differ from image.
