Dragonette Pinot Noir Santa Rita Hills 2018
The Sta Rita Hills program combines fruit from multiple blocks and four distinct vineyards to create complexity and balance. We have always believed that blending diverse terroirs could yield a whole which would be greater than the sum of its parts. Wines form the warmer parts of the SRH would provide dramatic fruits and baking spices, wines from the cooler portions would provide, higher toned red fruits, fresh herbs, minerals and great acidity.

As to the reds, you can’t go wrong with any of these. The appellation 2018 Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills offers a Gevrey-like character in its darker cherry and currant fruits as well as sous bous, leafy herbs, and earthy goodness. Ripe, medium-bodied, and flawlessly balanced, with terrific purity, don’t miss it. It’s unquestionably in the same league as the single vineyards quality-wise.

This red is loaded with juicy acidity, backing the lively mix of cherry tart and dried raspberry flavors that are filled with savory richness. Mineral and hot stone notes on the toasty finish. Drink now through 2025.
