Bright and poised, this Pinot Noir shows ripe red cherry, strawberry, and berry compote framed by spice and a subtle floral edge. It has a polished, medium-bodied feel with fine tannins and enough structure to keep the fruit focused. The profile leans toward the earthy, lifted style that fans of Sta. Rita Hills Pinot often appreciate, with a little more depth than sheer delicacy. Best enjoyed slightly chilled with roast chicken, mushroom risotto, or cedar-plank salmon.
