# Alma Rosa 2021 Caracol Pinot Noir, Sta. Rita Hills This lively Pinot Noir opens with rich aromas of wild strawberry, pomegranate, black cherry, and subtle floral notes of lavender, complemented by baking spices and a whisper of sage.
On the palate, vibrant dark red fruit flavors shine through with balanced tannins and fresh acidity that carries elegantly to a long finish. The wine captures remarkable complexity from its unique vineyard site—a spiral-shaped hilltop block planted with multiple Pinot Noir clones, each with different sun exposure and wind patterns. The result is a wine that is powerful yet refined, offering both immediate appeal and layering for contemplation.
Serve slightly cool with roasted poultry, mushroom-based dishes, or aged cheeses to highlight its earthy undertones and bright fruit character.
