2021 | Walson Holland Pinot Noir | Sta. Rita Hills | USA Malvasia delle Lipari citrus and white peachThe 2021 Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir is a wine of elegance and nuance. Blueberry, black cherry and rich red fruit dominate the nose with subtle notes of rose petal, baking spices and clove beautifully woven together giving the wine layer upon layer of complexity. The bright fruit leads to a rich and full mid palate, ripe tannins, ample acidity and a lengthy finish.
