Description
Our 2014 Rita Hills Pinot Noir follows in the footsteps of its predecessors. A deep crimson hue leads to classic Pinot aromas of cola, red and black cherries, candied strawberries and cassis. While the wine is blessed with firm acidity, it is broad, silky and balanced on the palate. A cool, wet spring delayed the opening of the growing season. Spring and summer temperatures were below normal, further slowing vine development. We were able to harvest our crop with little impact from the late-season heat and rain between late September and early November. Overall the vintage yielded wines with great flavor and acidity.
