Whitcraft Winery, Radian Vineyard, Pinot Noir, SRH, Santa Barbara, California, 2021

Overview of the Wine
Chris and Kathleen (Barnato) Whitcraft started Whitcraft Winery in 1985. Chris hosted a local wine radio program in Santa Barbara County for more than ten years and learned his craft from some of the best winemakers in California - Joe Heitz (Heitz Cellars), Dick Graff (Founded Chalone Winery and its AVA), and Burt Williams (Williams Selyem & Morning Dew Ranch) to name a few. What began as a hobby grew into both a passion and a lifestyle, the commitment to which is present to this day in every bottle of our wine.

This passion for wine was passed on to their children, Drake and Alyssa. While Chris passed in 2014, Drake continues to carry on the tradition of excellent winemaking within the Whitcraft family.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes
Light to medium garnet in the glass, this wine has an incredibly perfumed nose of sweet raspberry and cherry fruit. In the mouth, gorgeously bright raspberry and redcurrant flavors are crystalline in quality, backed by fantastic acidity and faint gauzy tannins. Citrus peel notes mix with floral and sour cherry qualities in the finish. Outstanding. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
