The 2019 Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills) is bright, tense and full of energy. Crushed red berry fruit, mint, spice and rose petal all grace the 2019. Brewer-Clifton's appellation Pinot is all charm. There is a wonderful feeling of transparency here, not to mention plenty of appeal.
Gorgeous kirsch and framboise fruits as well as spice and dried flower notes all emerge from the 2019 Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills. It's a fresher, more elegant example from this great estate, with a solid spine of acidity, beautiful balance, and a great, great finish. It's brilliant today but will be even better with another year of bottle age and keep for at least 10-15 years in cold cellars.
