Fiddlestix Vineyard Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills 2021
$85.00 / 750 ml
The 2021 vintage in St. Rita Hills was classic, offering small, concentrated, highly expressive berries. The aromas of dried red cherries and ripe raspberries mingle with a hint of earthiness we have come to expect from Sta. Rita Hills. This is a darker, richer wine on the palate, with great complexity and balanced acidity. The bright fruit and earthy notes on the finish linger on a layer of supple tannins.
