Hailing from the sun-drenched Santa Rita Hills, the Dominion Tantara Pinot Noir Cuvee Rita 2017 is a wine that leaves a memorable impression. It carries the distinct terroir of its origin, with an array of flavors that unfold beautifully on the palate, from ripe red cherries to a hint of earthy forest floor, all wrapped in a veil of soft, silky tannins. It’s a wine that scored a well-deserved 95 points, proving that it not only talks the talk, but walks the walk. This Pinot Noir is a standout in its class, delivering a depth and complexity that often comes with a heftier price tag. Picture it accompanying a herb-crusted rack of lamb at a cozy dinner party, or simply being savored on its own on a quiet evening. At its retail price, it’s a smart buy for the quality, promising to deliver well beyond its peers.
