2012 Sandhi Wines Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir

9.0

Great nose, rope with good acidity. Seems a bit hot despite 13.1 alcohol. The second day reminded me of Oregonian Pinot. The third day still great.

Best Pinot I've ever had. Complex, but balanced. 13.1% alcohol. Rich without tasting meaty. Just perfect. 2012.

Even on day 3 it's lovely. Great fruit and acid.

Ripe pomegranate, cranberry, wild berry fruit with a touch of stemy. Juicy and clean with slightly tartness, med to med plus acidity. Delicious wine.

8.7

The black and red fruit (cherries, raspberries, blackberries, and huckleberries) is dense and almost has a penny candy sour quality to it. Fairly well balanced with secondary nuances and a decent length. #sandhi #santaritahills #pinotnoir #california #ctbucklinwine
