The Hilt
The Vanguard Pinot Noir
Sta. Rita Hills, Central Coast, California, USA
Very enjoyable and in a good spot. I found this to be slightly stemmy and herbal, but plenty of gummy fruit to it. Small whole cluster usage? Spicy too...sweet rhubarb tart with blackberry spice. There is a fleshy profile to this showing soft red plum and mulberries. Acidity is holding strong. This is likely at peak...enjoy!

Initially a very enticing and inviting cherry cola, but evolves into a plethora of sweet herbs, spices, black cherry, and a saline-laced minerality. Finishes with a really sexy, silky mouthfeel that glides on with no hard edges.

What a great wine. Lots of bright fruit, medium body and good complexity
