The 2020 La Encantada Vineyard jumps out of the glass with blackberry jam, mixed berry pie and warm winter spices. Bold, brooding dark fruit on the palate is complemented by soft, chalky tannins and a firm finish. -Lily Hays, Direct to Consumer Business Manager

This maritime-influenced Pinot Noir leans to the savory side of the spectrum with umami notes, salinity and textural richness. The texture is created by the high proportion of whole-cluster fermentation which is made possible by the dense core of dark fruit flavors we always find at Rancho La Viña. From this we can create a beautifully balanced, structured, dense and layered wine that will age beautifully. -Lily Hays, Direct to Consumer Business Manager

On the palate, this approachable Pinot noir boasts juicy red fruits and freshly fallen leaves. The dusty, fine-grained tannins support a textural mouthfeel and a long finish. -Matt Brady, Winemaker

This wine is the best of what Sta. Rita Hills Pinot can be: pure, focused, silky, velvety, bold and expressive without being heavy. This wine is all about texture, and the tannin profile is wonderfully rich without being mouthcoating. This wine is polished, pretty and textural, and the umami pops on finish. Delicious. -Lily Hays, Direct to Consumer Business Manager
