The Hilt Estate Pinot Noir 2022 leans into a darker, brooding style, layering black cherry and plum with hints of spice and cocoa over a smooth, concentrated core. Silky in texture yet powerful in scale, it glides across the palate before tightening into a mineral, finely structured finish that reflects its Sta. Rita Hills origins.

The Hilt Estate Pinot Noir is a Santa Rita Hills–grown, estate-driven Pinot from The Hilt (the coastal Santa Barbara project helmed by winemaker Matt Dees) that blends fruit from their windswept, ocean‑exposed blocks. It’s typically nervy and terroir‑focused—bright red-berry and floral aromas with saline, savory and herbal undercurrents and a precise, elegant palate that reflects the cool, maritime Sta. Rita Hills influence.
