From the heart of California’s Sta. Rita Hills, the 2014 ‘Buena Aventura’ Reserve Pinot Noir captivates with its vibrant expression of ripe cherry, wild strawberry, and subtle earthy undertones. Scoring 95 points, the wine showcases a beautifully balanced acidity that lifts its lush fruit profile, while hints of clove and vanilla add depth and complexity. The cool coastal terroir imparts a refreshing minerality, making it a versatile companion for roasted duck or a hearty mushroom risotto. This Pinot Noir not only delivers an exceptional tasting experience but also represents a smart buy for the quality, as its original retail price of $55 makes this a truly great value find at just $20.
