What makes the Sta. Rita Hills truly unique is the purely East/West maritime mouth that funnels cooling coastal fog, and wind to the vines. One of the smaller AVAs in California, Sta. Rita Hills is one of the world’s best cool-climate growing regions of Pinot Noir. This wine is focused, with bright strawberry and cherry notes and a subtle, pleasing tension. 93 pts - Wine Enthusiast (v.18)
