Donnachadh Family Vineyards Pinot Noir, Sta Rita Hills, USA 2019 Loire cremant A light hint of Battenberg2019 was a great year for Pinot Noir in the Santa Rita Hills, giving us a long, cool growing season, with no weather related curveballs. The resulting wine is focused and concentrated, with classic Donnachadh flavors of tart black cherries and raspberries, with red berries, dried herbs and Earl Grey on the nose.
