Tasting notes
A sweet floral perfume lifts from the glass of the 2021 Pinot Noir Santa Cruz Mountain, which has a dark ruby color. Its notes of raspberry preserves, crushed flowers, cedar, and a hint of sassafras are followed by a medium-bodied, elegant red with ripe tannins, great, fresh acidity, and a ripe, balanced finish. It’s going to drink well over the coming 6-7 years.

Formerly known as Alesia, the 2021 Pinot Noir Santa Cruz Mountains is a blend of six estate vineyards from Rhys. The nose is energetic and high-toned, with aromas of red fruits, wet clay, petrichor and pine needles. The palate is medium-bodied and grippy, with an upright, sturdy finish, perfectly summarizing the mountainous structure of great Pinot Noirs from this region.
