Glowing from the glass with a crimson core and a pale blush on the rim, the 2018 Sta. Rita Hills opens with whispers of fresh pomegranate seeds, strawberry gelato, crème fraiche and fig leaf. The palate is layered and round exhibiting notes of strawberry preserves, redcurrant and rhubarb crisp. Slight oak tannins present themselves on the finish coupled with a hint of lemon, pepper brine.
Wine Advocate

Pale to medium ruby-purple colored, the 2018 Pinot Noir needs a little coaxing to unlock notes of raspberry leaves, Bing cherries and mulberries with touches of wild sage, mossy tree bark and wild fungi. Medium to full-bodied, the palate explodes with the most beautiful perfume, framed by very fine-grained tannins and lovely freshness, finishing long and fragrant.
Wine Spectator

Big, rich and filled with concentrated dark cherry, berry and plum tart flavors that feature plenty of Asian spice notes. Creamy accents in the midpalate lead into a powerful and well-structured finish featuring unctuous toastiness and chocolate nuances. Drink now through 2025. 1,474 cases made.
