Toretti's 2009 Inocencio Pinot Noir (Santa Barbara County)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $44
This wine offers complex flavors of sour cherry candy, persimmon, mushroom, spice and dried herb, brightened by crisp acidity. The oak influence provides smoky sweetness and wood tannins. This should continue to develop for six years or so.  — S.H.  (4/1/2013)

Toretti's 2008 Pinot Noir (Santa Barbara County)

A good Pinot, but not without its faults. It’s nicely dry and has a lovely, silky texture, making it feel light and airy in the mouth. The raspberry, cherry, orange zest and cola flavors testify to the wine’s cool-climate origins. The main problem is sharp acidity, which is hard to ignore.  — S.H.  (12/15/2010)

Toretti's 2008 Early California Pinot Noir (Santa Barbara County)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $40
Sharp, cutting acidity mars this delicately-structured wine. Tastes like a good dose of lime juice was added. Otherwise, the raspberry, orange and pomegranate flavors are delicious and dry.  — S.H.  (12/15/2010)

Toretti's 2010 Inocencio Pinot Noir (Santa Barbara County)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $44
Sharp and minty, this wine has some underripe notes, yet the flavor of peppery black cherry tastes jammy. The alcohol is high and somewhat unbalanced, which gives the wine a heavy mouthfeel.  — S.H.  (4/1/2013)
