Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir

This is in what appears to be the current style for southern central coast PNs: on the savory side, with prominent stemmy and roasted herbal components, with fruit in a complementary role. Large framed and full flavored, with moderate complexity.

NIGHT 2: Way more Burgundian. Beautiful sappy cherry fruit shows through on the nose and palate, and some minerality pops in the finish. Bumping it from a 9.0 to a 9.2. Air this puppy out!

This is the largest landholder in the Santa rita hills

Tasty, mellow, smooth, subtle. Good but a little small.

A really beautiful Pinot Noir from Sta. Rita Hills. Bing cherry, raspberry, chocolate and dried herbs. Poured a little into New Year's beef Burgundy. Yum!

Vibrant pinot, ripe with fruit. Great everyday drinker.

Smoky California fruit. Relative good acidity for CA. Well made I prefer Burgundies or Pinot from Germany but this ohne was OK.

Solid Pinot, fruit forward! Love this

Silky and delicious. Was wonderful with a roasted pork tenderloin.

Very enjoyable, balanced PN

Drinkable, well rounded, good for a group. More body than typical Pinot Noir
