Second stop on day three and finally made it to Napa. We tasted through some wines from Standard Deviation Wines and Addax Wines with Josh and Cheryl at Brasswood. Next up for Addax Wines is the Santa Rita Hills Pinot Noir from Rita's Crown Vineyard. Only 75 cases produced. Made by Russell Bevan.

Deep and dark ruby red with purplish hues. A touch creamy on the nose with purple flowers, roses, strawberries, twigs, dark red berries and cinnamon. Balanced tannins (6/10) and mouthwatering acidity (6.5/10) with a full body. A bit jammy in a good way on the palate with an underlying richness of spices, toasty elements, flowers, black fruits and red berries. Long and lingering finish. Drink till 2027.

$$$ - Retail price is around $75.00.
