In the glass, this Sta. Rita Hills Pinot has a black-garnet core with bricking edges that fade into a thin translucent halo….
The nose is full of raspberry jam and delicate lavender…. Another sniff brings out a meatier, bacon fat and mushroomy thing that leaves me chomping at the bit!!!
A sip starts silky smooth with purΓ©ed cranberries and black cherries before a blackberry BLAST shows up to lead the mid-palate into ripe plums and more of the mushroomy funk I got on the nose ———-> The ending brightens back up a bit with orange peel acid and racy cranapple before the wine finishes with a long coriander spice….
I LOVE Bonaccorsi Pinots!!! Vintage after vintage, vineyard site after vineyard site, these wines are all so different and SO DAMNED GOOD…. π§π§π§ Listen to this wine with something racy and just a little dirty like The Black Crowes – Remedy
