Lot 296
2021 Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir

Beautiful, uplifted bouquet opens with Earl Grey, Santa Rosa plum, blood orange and dried rose petal. As the wine opens up, black cherry bass notes and ripe maraschino cherry form the core. Menthol, forest floor and woody resinous notes are laced throughout and create an incredibly intriguing bouquet that is itself worth the price of entry. Smooth and perfectly ripe on entry, sappy acidity carries ripe red fruit to an expansive, glorious finish with lingering notes of black tea, rose petal and menthol notes tickling your sinuses. Smooth, ripe and delicious, this Pinot will age nicely over the next decade but here is no need to wait - its fantastic now!
