Le Machin Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir 2022

A fresh expression of Pinot Noir. Ripe cherries, red berries, clove, black tea and a hint of baking spice from limited oak aging. Bright and mouth-watering. 100% organic Pinot Noir sourced from a handful of vineyards in the Santa Rita Hills.

Le Machin (The Thing) is a new project from Craig Winchester and Mike Roth at Lo-Fi Wines, bringing accessible, honest expressions of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay sourced from organic vineyards throughout Santa Barbara County. Their gentle, low-intervention approach to winemaking is preserved here, and this Pinot Noir is 95% destemmed. The wine is aged in neutral French oak tanks for eight months.
