Donnachadh Pinot Noir Santa Rita 2022 750ml

"The 2021 Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills, matured for ten months in neutral oak, is the first appellation-wide Pinot from Donnachadh. Like the Chardonnay, this vintage was sourced entirely from the Donnachadh estate, although that may not be the case in the future. It has a pale ruby color and very pure, fragrant scents of cranberry, raspberry, strawberry, bergamot, tea leaves, and herbs. The medium-bodied palate is finely chalky and wonderfully fresh, boasting concentrated red berry flavors, fine citrusy accents, and a long, ethereal finish. This really stands out for its detail and expression—it's as if the volume was turned up, yet the definition preserved. 95 points" Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
