Cuvée Viticole Sta Rita Hills La Lie Fine Pinot Noir
Sta. Rita Hills, Central Coast, California, USA
I’m curious to see how long the people behind this wine club can continue to convince people this is how wine is “supposed to be.” Not good.

Crunchy, vibrant Pinot. 12.55% ABV (woot!) Unfined, unfiltered. This is Brian’s style of wine, a style I’m happy to drink. But, my resident non-credentialed wine drinker said: “It looks like a Pinot, but it doesn’t taste like a Pinot....”
There’s some candied cherry fruit for sure, but grippy minerals and green veggies make this a different animal. Could easily be confused with cru Beaujolais.

Ripe red fruit on a lithe, low-alcohol frame 🍓⚡️😍

My favorite of the #viticole offerings so far. Still an easy drinking style but complex with earthy and vegetal flavors complimenting the slightly underripe fruit. Makes me want to try all of whitcraft’s lineup.
