Silky red and black cherry flavors drive the 2020 Racines Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir, layered with hints of rose petal and gentle baking spice. The palate balances juicy fruit concentration with lively acidity and fine, compact tannins, finishing long and bright without feeling heavy.

Racines Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir is a cool-climate, Burgundian-leaning expression of Santa Barbara’s Santa Rosa Road corridor, typically blended from famed sites (Sanford & Benedict, La Rinconada, Wenzlau, de Montille parcels) and soils rich in silica/diatomaceous sediment. It shows bright red cherry and wild strawberry at the core, lifted floral and anise notes, lively acidity and a minerally, forest-floor/saline finish—an elegant, terroir-driven Pinot that emphasizes tension and finesse over overt ripeness.
