Exemplary - 2020 Pinot Noir - Santa Barbara County

Above all else, Alpha Epsilon Phi inspires exemplary women. From the earliest days of our founders, our sisters have been dedicated to selfless service and inspiring others and committed to intellectual growth and personal development. We stand on the shoulders of those who came before us – women like astronaut Judith Resnik, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and philanthropist Elizabeth Meyer Glaser. Today we continue to exemplify the values of beauty, strength and wisdom.

We introduce you to Exemplary. Our Pinot Noir from Santa Barbara County experiences a lengthy and cool growing season that is similar to the climate of the Burgundy region of east-central France. Unlike Burgundy, our Pinot Noir experiences dense fog that rolls in off the Pacific Ocean; this fog contributes to the ideal climate for Pinot Noir, offering just enough moisture to be beneficial without lingering too long.

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.
