Magnum - 2019 Pinot Noir - Rio Vista Vineyard, Sta. Rita Hills
93 points - Wine Enthusiast - Editor's Choice
The 2019 Pinot Noir - Rio Vista Vineyard is an incredibly synchronous wine, beautifully balanced between fruit, earth and spice. On the nose this wine has candied cherries, dried leaves and exotic spices. On the palate, the tannins are super fine-grained, reminiscent of Rooibos tea leaves. Floral notes of hibiscus compliment dried red cherries, cherry cordial and cola notes. This wine is very integrated and ready to drink now. -Lily Hays, Direct to Consumer Business Manager

"Winemaker Matt Brady is a big fan of tacos, which would pair perfectly with this bottling's unique red-chile spice. That aroma meets with peppercorn, cinnamon and raspberry on the nose, while the palate packs tart pomegranate and hibiscus in with that intriguing spice kick." -Matt Kettmann
