Donnachadh Estate Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills 2021

As a result of the vintage, the wine contrasts vibrant, concentrated new world fruits with an old world style classical structure. Aromas of black cherries and raspberries, sage, black tea, and baking spice. Juicy dark fruits in the mouth, with firm tannins and a bright acidity. This is a wine that will get better over the coming years, or drink it now, but give it a little air first. Aged 15 months in 20% new French oak barrels. Calera, Pommard, 115 and 667 clones. 96 pts from Wine Advocate and 93 pts and “Cellar Selection” from Wine Enthusiast (who said to drink now until 2040, so no rush).
