• 2022 Lincourt Vineyards Pinot Noir, RSR

  Sta. Rita Hills

  Expand
  Lincourt wines are produced primarily from two estate vineyards in the Sta. Rita Hills AVA – wines that are rich, structured, fruit forward, and regionally exact. The fruit for this wine was harvested and sorted in the vineyard prior to arrival at the winery. The clusters were then carefully destemmed to keep the berries intact. Additional hand sorting removed any jack stems before the fruit was transferred to small, stainless steel, open-top fermenters. The juice and skins were cold soaked for 4 days prior to fermentation and then gently punched down for several days. After primary fermentation was complete, the new wine was drained and the skins were gently pressed. The 2022 Rancho Santa Rosa Pinot Noir embodies the essence of the cool climate St. Rita Hills. This wine opens with aromas of ripe fruit, dark boysenberry, pomegranate, with ribbons of red and black cherry. On the palate this Pinot Noir offers classic notes of black pepper, boysenberry, plum, and dark cherry with a soft finish of dark cacao and pomegranate acidity. The wine has moderate tannins, balanced acidity, and lush fruit on the finish.
