A glowing medium crimson in the glass, the 2019 l’usine Sta. Rita Hills has many of the hallmarks of the region in our bold style. Ripe black cherry, strawberry preserves and a touch of cardamom and wet stone emanate from the glass. Supple yet a bit tight on the palate, the entry provides a soft landing of ripe cranberry and raspberry with a mid-palate buttressed by a note of saline and the natural acidity of the terroir. Again, similar red fruits from the nose are present through the finish that is bright and lifting, giving the mineral close a sensation of freshness.

Wine Advocate: 94 Points
Medium ruby-purple, the 2019 Pinot Noir has lush aromas of black cherries, blueberries and cranberries, with nuances of flint, charcuterie, underbrush and aniseed. The medium-bodied palate is silky and seamless, with appealing layers of earth, spice and mineral character on the long finish. Anticipated Maturity: 2022-2032
