Racines Pinot Noir, Santa Rita Hills 2018 Bodegas Pittacum smooth on the entry but

smooth on the entry but with enough grip and freshness to finish dry and refreshing

cherry fruit that floats in the mouth with savoury earthy notes and a hint of that magical aroma of fine Amarone

yeasty and salty nose

Ripe red/dark fruit aromas and that characteristic garrigue and pepper notes

but more north on the palate and aftertaste

Racines Pinot Noir, Santa Rita Hills 2018 Bodegas Pittacum smooth on the entry butA bold and punchy, super expressive Pinot with lovely aromatic nuance to play off the dark cherry and plum fruit. It is classy and layered with real depth and complexity. Showing immense character now although this will only improve over the next 5 years and beyond.
