Country: US / Rita’s Crown Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Sweetzer Cellars / Sta. Rita Hills
From a vineyard high up in the appellation, this is the strongest wine in Sweetzer’s current lineup. Earthy mulberry, wild mint, sun-baked soil and dark chocolate scents show on the nose. Lively dark red fruit, bay leaf and earthy garrigue qualities arise on the hearty, spicy and lovely palate.
