Overview
The 2014 La Rinconada Pinot Noir is selected from individual barrels of the best blocks from this estate vineyard in the esteemed Sta. Rita Hills AVA. A warm, dry growing season delivered rich, approachable wines of impeccable balance. This versatile wine is deep red in color and will pair well with a variety of foods but notably with lamb, venison, oily fish and mushrooms. The palate delivers flavors of juicy red fruits framed nicely by bright acidity that leads to a lingering finish, suggestive of black raspberry and mocha.
