Ancient warriors entered battle with a sword and a shield. To achieve victory, it’s essential to pair a dynamic offense with a stout defense. After all, balance is everything in football…and wine. In that spirit, this 2020 Pinot Noir from Santa Barbara County is grown in an ideal climate with warm days and cool nights. Here’s to keeping your balance in the face of any challenge.

We introduce you to Sword & Shield. This Pinot Noir has aromas of cherries, raspberries, blackberries, and brown sugar with notes of baking spices. On the palate, the wine opens with bright, fruit flavors of strawberries, leading to a round mouthfeel on the mid-palate and soft, velvety tannins on a long, elegant finish.
