Note di degustazione
The 2019 Pinot Noir Old Guard offers up a compelling mix of crazy aromatics, bright red fruit, herbs and spice. Weightless and wonderfully nuanced, the 2019 sizzles with energy to play off its weightless feel. The Old Guard Pinot is one of the most distinctive wines in the Sta. Rita Hills.

The 2019 Pinot Noir Old Guard is more earthy and spicy, with ample peppery (white and black pepper) nuances as well as terrific fruit. More focused, precise, and chiseled on the palate, it has wonderful elegance and purity, with a distinct sense of minerality on the finish. It will probably surpass the Vanguard release at maturity, but it’s more reserved, tight, and inward today. Regardless, it’s a sensational Pinot Noir.
