Cali-ripe pinot fruit with cherries, plums and blueberries. Medium bodied and medium acid with a bitter herbal finish. No flaws but a little clunky.. not a whole lot of excitement.

Right off the bat would guess well-made Oregon Pinot. Fruit in the background here. Mulch, forest floor, & some fungus. Red fruit buried in the mulch. Nice spice on the palate. Really starts to open up after being open for about an hour.

The 2017 Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills) is a gorgeous appellation wine that punches well above its weight. Then again, most of the fruit is from Domaine de la Côte, with a healthy dollop (20%) of grapes from Sanford & Benedict. Dark cherry, plum, spice, licorice and menthol infuse this radiant Pinot with tremendous fruit density and power. Dark cherry, plum, licorice and spice are pushed forward. There is so much to like.
