Jacqueline Bahue Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills 2016
About the wine
Sta. Rita Pinot with knockout flavor
- Bold, beautifully structured Pinot Noir from one of the most expensive wine-growing regions in California... and flavor to match.
- Sta. Rita is cool and breezy, famous for its long growing season - grapes grow low 'n' slow, and pick up dark, concentrated fruit flavors while they're hanging on the vine. That's where all this bold cherry and scrumptious berry flavor comes from!
- Your funding gives Jacqueline the chance to perfect this Pinot year after year. This is s special vintage for Angels – it's her 5th bottling! – and the quality is unreal.
- This vintage received a Double Gold medal in the 2018 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition - that's the highest medal they award!
Best before
This wine is made to be aged; but if you can't wait that long, decant for at least an hour prior to opening.
Serving advice
This wine should be decanted prior to opening.
Food match
This wine pairs beautifully with steamed mussels and french fries.
Contains sulphites
