Note di degustazione
Herbs, toasted spice, licorice and mulled red fruits define the 2013 Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills, and, as far as Pinot Noir goes, it's a terrific value. Possessing plenty of fruit and ripe tannin, it's delicious now, yet should easily keep for 4-5 years. Note, this is a multi-vineyard blend that’s mostly John Sebastiano and La Encantada, but includes smaller parts from Fiddlestix, Radian, Bentrock and Duvarita. It saw a tiny portion with whole clusters and 16 months all in neutral oak.

The 2013 Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills) is rich, ample and enveloping, yet also retains gorgeous aromatic lift. Rose petal, mint, anise and sweet dried cherry grace the palate in an exquisite, inviting Pinot endowed with lovely harmony. The natural intensity of the Sta. Rita Hills comes through, yet the 2013 retains notable translucence, with impeccable balance and no excess weight.
