Sandhi Description
Though produced under the Sandhi label, the majority of the fruit for this Sta Rita Hills Pinot Noir comes from the Domaine de la Côte estate. This is often heralded as some of the finest vineyard sites for Pinot Noir in California, and this is a wine that definitely delivers over and above its price point. Brimming with notes of black cherry, lavender and layered spice, plus an earthy finish that lends itself to a very elegant and complex red.
Wine Advocate: 93 Points
The 2020 Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills incorporates about 50% estate fruit and was made with destemmed fruit this vintage and bottled a bit earlier than other vintages. Medium ruby-purple, it has pretty scents of rhubarb, blueberries and tea leaves with savory notes of pipe tobacco, flint and woodsmoke. The medium-bodied palate is delicate, bright and chalky with perfumed fruits and a long, floral finish.
