Sta, Rita Hills Pinot Noir

Overview

With a stunning deep ruby color, our Sta. Rita Hills Pinot is aromatic and vibrant on the nose. This gorgeous Pinot has vibrant, red fruit tones such as red cherries, cranberries, and wild strawberries that are blended pleasantly with notes of orange peel, raw cocoa, rose petals, sage, and thyme. The tannins are well pronounced but smooth in this wine, giving it a good structure. Vivid flavors of raspberries, walnuts, and wet stone integrate with nice notes of minerality. Our Sta Rita Hills Pinot pairs beautifully with lamb, chicken, grilled skirt steak, and pasta dishes.
