2021 The Hilt Radian Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sta Rita Hills, USA white It's the wine you reachThe 2021 Pinot Noir Radian Vineyard, which has a vivid, perfumed, exotic bouquet of black raspberries, spring flowers, violets, graphite, and chalky minerality. I love its purity, and it's medium bodied, with an incredible sense of refinement and class and a great finish. Coming from a rocky hillside vineyard on the southern side of the Sta. Rita Hills, this incredible Pinot Noir will benefit from 2 3 years of bottle age and cruise in cold cellars
