The 2024 Sierra Mar Pinot Noir unfolds with lifted aromas of dark plum, raspberry and mountain sage chaparral with a twist of orange zest. Plush yet structured, the palate delivers concentrated red and dark berry fruit framed by fresh acidity and fine-grained tannins. A streak of savory minerality drives the long, vibrant finish, echoing the energy and elevation of this windswept site.
