Pinot Noir Santa Rita Hills, Sandhi 2022

The 2022 Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills comes from declassified fruit grown at Domaine de la Côte, plus purchased fruit from three other vineyards, including La Rinconada. It's a particularly complex and expressive iteration of Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir from Sandhi. It has an alluring perfume of raspberry, strawberry, tea leaves, tobacco, potpourri and gravel dust, and it reveals botanical undertones as it spends time in the glass. The light-bodied palate has a deep core of spicy, herbal fruit, a frame of chalky tannins, energetic acidity and a long, layered finish. 2025 - 2035

Sandhi Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir provides an introductory snapshot of the Sandhi portfolio with this true-to-typicity cuvée. Softer aromas of raspberry fruit and leaves, fresh purple sage, and strawberry give way to a palate full of tart red fruit, characteristic of the Sta Rita Hills region. Delightful and youthful, Sandhi Pinot Noir showcases primary fruit and herbal notes. 2024 - 2034
