Brewer-Clifton Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2023 Review
This wine is the epitome of Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir. It’s expressive and balanced in its own unique way. The nose is brimming with wafts of brandied cherries, pomegranate, and strawberry rhubarb pie. The mouthfeel is wildly engaging with a deep core of fruit that coats the palate.
