La Côte Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir

Pretty, very light. Translucent. Aromatic. Showed very well beside a nice Burgundy. 12.5 % alc. I’m envious.

Elegant but with plenty of intensity. Complex already with notes of black raspberry, wild strawberries, spices and silky tannins.

Also aging gracefully. Burgundian. Ref fruit and good acidity. Finish lingers.

$90 retail. Good wine, I'd love to know how these are selling.

A ruby red and almost translucent Pinot Noir. Very aromatic with Wild strawberries and raspberries on the palette. Paired well with the crispy pork I had for dinner.

Blinded winery and vintage. Classic example of Burgundian methods in Sta. Rita Hills.

Drank w pork arista. Light, translucent ruby. The acid is a bit dominant still. The wine needs some more time to balance out. But the energy and tension are excellent. Spicy aromatics. Tart cherry on palate.

Awesome nose, less great flavors. Definitely needs time.

Salty
