I appreciate the Sta. Rita Hills sense of place here – vibrant cherry fruit and a mix of herbs and earth are well knit together and finish into the distance. Winemaker Christian Roguenant’s long experience with Central Coast Pinot Noir is in full evidence – he has a way of drawing the best out of each vintage. Mission accomplished yet again.
