Tasting notes
The 2021 Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills leads with aromas of candied black cherry, kirsch, dark spices and damp soil. It leads to a silky but assertive palate framed by fine-grained, grippy tannins. It finishes with a succulent, staining intensity framed by further drying tannins and increasingly savory, earth-tinged accents. This is beautifully made but will benefit from a year or two of integration.

Crunchy black cherries, raspberries, leather, and peppery floral notes all emerge from the 2021 Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills, an incredibly pure, medium-bodied Pinot Noir that has fabulous concentration, a focused, nicely structured mouthfeel, and a great finish. It's a hidden little gem of a Pinot Noir that readers should snatch up!
The 2021 Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills) races across the palate. Inky red/purplish fruit, spice, lavender, licorice and mocha are all dialed up to the maximum. This sumptuous, exotic Pinot is a real head-turner.
