2019 WALT Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir - Clos Pepe, Radian, Bentrock, La Encantada & Rita's Crown Vineyards
Critic Review
Opulent aromas of baked Bing cherry and strawberry are flaked in licorice and a touch of clove on the nose of this rich expression. Dark plum and cherry tones meet with the appellation's characteristic cola spice on the palate.
91 Points | Wine Spectator, Kim Marcus
"Concentrated dark cherry and plum tart flavors are well-knit, showing forest floor accents. The richly textured finish is buoyant, showing cooking and savory spice accents, with hints of cocoa."

ushers in the Pacific fog and constant cooling breezes.

Cause vines to produce grapes with powerful varietal
character
Vibrant ruby in color, expressive aromas of pomegranate , raspberry and nougat candy jump out of the glass. A lively, fleshy structure compliments the fruit and ripeness. Bold and charged with energy, the wine finishes with well-integrated toasty oak notes.
