WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
The 2021 Rancho Santa Rosa Pinot Noir embodies the essence of the cool climate St. Rita Hills. This wine opens with aromas of ripe fruit, dark boysenberry, and ribbons or red and black. On the palate this Pinot Noir offers classic notes of black pepper, boysenberry, plum, and dark cherry with a soft finish of dark cacao and pomegranate. The wine has moderate tannins, balanced acidity, and lush fruit on the finish.
TASTING NOTES:
Sour cherry, rose petal, geranium extract and cinnamon aromas converge on the nose of this bottling. The palate picks up herbal hints of oregano, thyme and marjoram that decorate the cranberry and red plum flavors.
