John Sebastiano Vineyard Pinot Noir•2021

Energy and richness play off each other in the 2021 Foxen John Sebastiano Vineyard Pinot Noir, which layers concentrated red and blue berries with hints of black tea, warm spice and a subtle wild sage complexity. The palate is generous yet lifted by taut acidity, giving shape to the ripe fruit and leading to a long, vibrant finish that shows this cooler Sta. Rita Hills site’s tension and drive. Structured but already expressive, it’s a compelling, fruit-forward take on this vineyard in a ripe, powerful vintage.
