Racines Santa Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2019

The 2019 Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills is an attractive, ethereal wine. Sweet dried cherry, mint,tobacco and sage are some of the aromas and flavors that open in the glass. I would givethis a few years in bottle to soften. This is an especially savory style of Pinot with plenty ofaromatic presence, and the fruit pushed into the background. The Sta. Rita Hills cuvée is a blend of fruit from Domaine de la Côte and La Encantada. Drinking window: 2022-2031. Score – 90. (Antonio Galloni, vinous.com, Oct. 2021)
