2024 Ex Post Facto Pinot Noir, Sta Rita Hills, USA (750ml)

WINEMAKER'S NOTES: 

Aromas of red cherry, red rose petal and pomegranate. On the palete, raspberry and cinnamon red hots. The texture is of soft tannin with a round and supple mouth feel. 100% destemmed. This showcases the varietal expression of Pinot Noir as a lighter bodied, red fruited wine with a softer structure.

TASTING NOTES: 

Made from 100% Pinot Noir that was completely destemmed and aged just three months in neutral barrels, the 2024 Pinot Noir boasts a ruby, semi-opaque color and gives up juicy blackberry, mulberries, peppery herbs, and sappy, floral-driven notes. Medium-bodied, pure, and juicy on the palate, it has an incredibly supple, seamless mouthfeel, nicely integrated acidity, and ripe tannins. This is one heck of a value, offering plenty of richness and ripeness while staying balanced, light on its feet, and weightless.
