2015 Pinot Noir, SRH

Sta Rita Hills

2015 'SRH' Pinot Noir

Radian Vineyard + Sanford & Benedict Vineyard

2015 marks our 2nd vintage trying our hand at Pinot. We've been honored to work with Radian Vineyard (in the Sta. Rita Hills AVA) via Chardonnay for many years and for our first ever released Pinot in the 2014 vintage.

In 2015 we were stoked to have a bit of beautiful Sanford & Benedict Vineyard Pinot offered up to us. Who would turn that down? No one. That's who.

The 'SRH' is a harmonious, structured and (in a good way) "moody" (think fog at Big Sur) wine. It will reward with even more patience than the 'SMV' which is currently a bit more "open" of the two. 

James' Pre-Release TN's: 

NOTE/PALATE: Rose petal, violet, cranberry, blueberry, clove, spice, tobacco, sassafras, meat, cinnamon
OVERALL: mild tannins, medium plus acidity, a bit more masculine than the 'SMV'
