Sandhi Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2021 Bottle size: 750ml
United States, California
R1,390
‘The 2021 Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills has a medium ruby color and pretty scents of cinnamon stick, aniseed, iron, underbrush and charcuterie with a core of red cherries and cranberries. Medium-bodied yet very concentrated, it has a powdery frame, sparks of refreshing acidity and a very long, graphite-driven finish. Precise and detailed, it deserves to spend another 2-3 years in bottle. 2022-2032’ – Erin Brooks, Wine Advocate, 96/100
‘A bright and crunchy wine with sliced strawberries and orange peel. Medium to light body with light tannins and a crisp finish. Drink now.’ – JamesSuckling.com, 92/100
‘A lighter hue in the glass, this appellation cuvée hits the nose with raspberry, pomegranate, bay leaf and dried-marjoram aromas, with a hint of game lingering in the background. The gamy charcuterie flavors presents more prominently on the palate, where oregano and tart cherry add to the experience.’ – Matt Kettmann, Wine Enthusiast, 92/100
‘Just bottled, the 2021 Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills) shows all the energy and nuance the vintage has to offer. Crushed red berry fruit, rose petal, chalk, mint and white pepper abound. This is tremendous appellation-level Pinot and a huge overachiever that could very well turn out to be even better than this note suggests. 2023-2031’ – Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 91/100
