Racines Sta Rita Hills Cuvee Pinot Noir 2022

Brisk-edged and energetic, with tightly focused notes of red currant and bitter cherry coulis laced with savory, rose hip and red tea accents. The lengthy finish holds its tension nicely. Drink now through 2032. 1,178 cases made.

"Pale to medium ruby, the 2017 Pinot Noir has lovely aromas of orange peel, cranberry, rhubarb and mixed berry preserves with dust, sagebrush, tobacco, tea leaf and floral notes. It has a light to medium weight with intense spiced berry flavors, dusty tannins and juicy freshness, finishing long and spicy. This was bottled a week before I tasted it but is showing well." 92 Points Erin Brooks, The Wine Advocate
