The Hilt Estate Pinot Noir 2022 (750ml)
Juicy red cherry, ripe raspberry and wild strawberry give this Pinot Noir a bright, inviting character, with delicate notes of violet, dried herbs and subtle spice. The palate is smooth yet structured, with fresh acidity, fine tannins and layers of red fruit complemented by gentle earthy undertones. A savoury touch adds complexity to the long, balanced finish.
From California's cool-climate Sta. Rita Hills, The Hilt Estate Pinot Noir brings together fruit from the estate's vineyards, capturing the region's freshness and coastal influence. The 2022 vintage offers an appealing balance of vibrant fruit, elegant texture and depth, making it enjoyable now while offering potential for further development.

Beautiful dark, dusky fruit and precise balance give this medium-bodied wine a good, linear drive and refreshing texture. Red and black cherries, good acidity and subtle savory, spicy nuances.

The 2022 Estate Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills is again centered around Radian, which forms just over half the blend, followed by almost equal parts of Bentrock and Sanford & Benedict. It opens with a darker-fruited profile than I typically associate with the vintage, featuring distinctly savory, earthy aromas that introduce a supple, seamless palate and a chalky conclusion.
