yeasty and salty nose

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

Lovely minerality and purity here and real harmony between the linear acidity and subtle pithy bitter notes accompanying the citrus

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

this is more earthy

Racines Pinot Noir, Santa Rita Hills 2018 Bodegas Pittacum yeasty and salty noseA 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.
