2023 William Hines Careaga Pinot Noir, Sta. Rita Hills, USA

$85.00

This is a lush expression of Pinot Noir, an unabashedly joyful Pinot.
This is a wine to be opened at the beginning of a dinner with new friends. 
 

It leans into Pinot Noir’s more lush side with darker aromatics of blue fruits, blue flowers, and blue sage; Careaga is a welcome boost of the volume knob for this often mysterious, subtle grape. Make no mistake—the deft balancing act of perfume, poise, lift, and deliciousness needed in great Pinot Noir is here. It simply brings some hedonism, not to mention an invigorating framework teeming with acidity, to the table. This intensity, texture, and freshness bodes well for a range of palates.
