The storied Sta. Rita Hills AVA provided the fruit for the six vineyards that comprise this complex and compelling 100% Pinot Noir. John Sebastiano (52%), La Encantada (20%), Cargasacchi (10%), Raidan (8%) Fiddlestix (7%) and Duvarita (3%) all contributed and lead to the suggestion that the sum is better than the parts. Deep berry fruit on the nose with black cherry dominating. Hints of spice and minerals on the palate with some fresh herbs thrown in for good measure. Excellent, lingering finish and almost perfect balance add to its luster.
