The Sta Rita OG-- and a gorgeous expression- bing cherry, ripe pomegranate, Christmas orange, a nose that gives me shivers it's so inviting! A grassy mossiness with hints of bacon fat and white pepper. Fruit is tart red with candied rhubarb and orange zest on the palate, vanilla bean, juicy acidity, and a dusting of cocoa powder. Never had Sta Rita this balanced, even at elevated alcohol.

Side by side pinot and chard. Looking for the common thread... hitting harmonic tones on the finish!
