From the prestigious Sanford & Benedict Vineyard in Santa Rita Hills comes the 2020 Racines Pinot Noir, a wine that justly earned its 94-point score. This Pinot Noir is a vivid reflection of its terroir, offering a harmonious blend of ripe red berries, fragrant earth, and delicate spice notes, all underscored by a refreshing acidity that keeps it balanced and lively on the palate. It’s a wine that calls for a special occasion, perhaps an intimate dinner where it can be paired with dishes like roasted duck or a mushroom risotto, enhancing both the wine and the meal. Even at its original retail price of $150, it’s a compelling buy, but at its current price, it delivers well beyond its peers and is a truly great value find.
