This classic Santa Barbara Pinot is rich with aromas and flavors of red cherry, plums, and strawberry, highlighted with bright notes of raspberry and spice. Easy drinking alone, it’s also a good choice with grilled steaks, roasted pork, or risotto with mushrooms and parmesian. A good buy at $23 retail, available in local stores or on their website at tazvineyards.com
