Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Deep Ruby color with aromas of red fruits, smoky cedar and floral spice. On the palate flavors of cherry and ripe raspberry with toasty notes and cinnamon spice. Full-bodied, fine tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit toasty-smoky oak and an earthy spice character. Nice! Pair this with maple crusted pork chop!

Big ups to @Chad Melville and co. for this rich, silky, and irresistible expression of the best Sta Rita has to offer.

Silky and succulent. Bright cherry fruit, a bit of baking spice, and a peppery finish. Really nice wine.

Quite good for a CA Pinot. Definitely has a bit more fruit and a touch of oak but good acidity.

Laura enjoying a Sta. Rita Hills Pinot? Shocker! Really nice, soft and supple, lush ripe cherries and a touch of clove.

My new favorite paring - this with Mirin marinaded salmon with cilantro and spicy miso sauce.
