Santa Rita Hills Pinot Noir

Santa Rita Hills Pinot Noir Wine Details
Price:

Description: The 2003 Santa Rita Hills Pinot Noir is a big, rich wine. Upon opening it is impressively concentrated but still a bit tight. However, within an hour the wine begins to blossom revealing loads of dark blackberry and plum flavors. It also shows an underlying minerality (almost a coal-like character) along with superb levels of natural acidity. This is truly an impressive Pinot Noir of vineyard-designate like quality but at an extremely attractive Appellation price. This wine is available only to those of you on the mailing list!
