2020 Racines, La Rinconada Pinot Noir, Santa Rita Hills, California, USA

Description

The La Riconada Vineyard Pinot Noir has impressive density given its silken finish and sub 13% abv. This is a wine of sheer concentration. Tightly wound a core of fresh red fruits lays the scene for savoury and mineral accents that tease the fruit character into something that shows more depth than the three years would lead one to believe. Aromas of anise, smoke, mer and dried sumac pull out notes of wet stone and dried savoury herbs. The palate is supple and red-fruited but backed by crushed basalt and Mediterranean scrub, leading one to want to revisit this wine in five years.

Drink 2023 - 2034

About this wine

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.
