2011 Sandhi Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills

The 2011 Pinot (Sta. Rita Hills) is a great introduction to the Sandhi wines. Dark cherries, licorice and cloves are some of the many notes that wrap around the palate in this juicy, flavorful Pinot. Sweet floral and spice notes add lift as the wine sits in the glass. The savory notes on the finish are those of the vintage, as the Sta. Rita Hills Pinot was made from fully destemmed fruit.
