Gentle red fruits and bright citrus tones lead the 2020 Melville Sta. Rita Hills Estate Pinot Noir, with cranberry, raspberry and cherry layered over subtle herbal spice and a savory, earthy undercurrent. The palate is mid-weight yet focused, framed by lifted acidity and fine, silky tannins that give the finish definition and a lightly spicy, tobacco-tinged complexity.

Rita Hills Estate Pinot Noir is a cool-climate, estate-grown red built from a diverse collection of Pinot Noir clones rooted in sandy loam and Lompoc dune sands, expressing the windy, maritime Sta. Rita Hills AVA. Typically vinified with a significant whole-cluster component and raised in neutral French oak, it emphasizes purity and tension, showing vibrant red fruits, citrus zest, spice, and subtle earth with bright acidity and fine, silky tannins.
