Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir

Good sense of place made by the people of the place :-)

2010 vintage. I'm less familiar with this producer but look forward to exploring more. Tight upon opening, but over time the fruit profile really built and became quite lovely. Fresh bing cherry came around, with some taut acidity.

Some oxidation 2010 VS

Drank over four nights and singing for the first three. Very nice drinking right now.

Very fresh and rich, wonderfully full and rounded combination of red and dark fruits, very well integrated!

Somewhat of a fruit bomb but very enjoyable. Excellent overloaded meal at Helm South. We shared the complete menu but had to call it quits with 3 courses to go. Small plates add up.

Well constructed. Excellent after 6 years.

Ripe, rich, intense red fruit on all fronts. Kind of a one cord song. Hedonistic but not too over the top. Got good scores, not surprising. I'd like to try a different vintage of this.

Nice. Feel like these get better with age. Dark fruit with nice silky tannins.

Just what wine should be.
