2003 Hitching Post ‘Highliner’ Pinot Noir

Five of Santa Barbara’s best vineyards went into this wine- including the legendary Cargasacchi and Bien Nacido Vineyards. The Higliner is well endowed with plenty of deep red fruit, white pepper spices, terrior and balanced alcohol. This particular wine was featured in the movie “Sideways”. Enjoy with poultry and grilled meats.
