" From the southern part of the Sta. Rita Hills, the 2018 Pinot Noir La Rinconada Vineyard spent 17 months in 30% new French oak. This spicy, marine-influenced effort has lots of saltiness, a core of raspberry and strawberry fruit, loads of violet and floral notes, medium-bodied richness, and a flawlessly balanced, elegant texture. It's a gorgeous wine that's going to keep for at least a decade."
