What makes this area 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. 95 Pts - Jeb Dunnuck (v.18) 95 Pts - Wine Advocate (v.17)
