Alma Rosa Pinot Noir 2021 Sta. Rita Hills - California

FROM THE WINERY:

With a stunning deep ruby color, our Sta. Rita Hills Pinot is aromatic and vibrant on the nose. This gorgeous Pinot has vibrant, red fruit tones such as red cherries, cranberries, wild strawberries that are blended pleasantly with notes of orange peel, raw cocoa, rose petals, sage and thyme. The tannins are well pronounced but smooth in this wine, giving it good structure. Vivid flavors of raspberries, walnuts and wet stone integrate with nicely notes of minerality. Our Sta Rita Hills Pinot is pairs beautifully with lamb, chicken, grilled skirt steak and pasta dishes.  

This vintage consists of equal parts Swann, 667, and 777 clones. It has a beautifully balanced, earthy nose of dusty bramble berries. Its complete flavors end with a ripe cherry note rounded out with excellent acidity.
