Brevity Pinot Noir Santa Barbara County '22

From the cool Sta. Rita Hills AVA, this Pinot Noir presents a translucent ruby hue. The nose enchants with delicate aromas of wild strawberry, rose petal, and damp earth with emerging truffle notes. The palate floats with weightless intensity - flavors of cranberry, blood orange, and white pepper glide across silken tannins that earned consistent 93-95 point scores. Aged 11 months in French oak (30% new) at just 13.8% alcohol, it finishes with haunting floral notes. Serve slightly chilled with duck breast or mushroom risotto - the 2022 vintage shows Sta. Rita Hills' signature balance of power and finesse.
