2021 Racines 'Sta. Rita Hills Cuvee' Pinot Noir California

Shows nicely coiled energy, with a core of black cherry, mulberry and plum fruit allied to racy acidity, which carries through on the iris- and anise-tinged finish. A subtle, smoldering earth accent hangs in the background, leaving a flinty echo. Drink now through 2033. 1,165 cases made.
