Jacqueline Bahue Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills 2015
About the wine
Bold, beautiful and surprising Pinot
- WOW, intense ruby Pinot Noir with bold dark cherry notes. This is not a typical candied California Pinot.
- Jacqueline found this vineyard in one of the coolest summertime regions in California (cooler than Carneros or Russian River) and that results in an incredibly long growing season where the grapes get an extra 30-40 days to mature on the vine.
- This is your quintessential "pairs well with food" wine, but this is a great red wine for lots of occasions. I love the dark meat on a roast chicken and this is my go to red.
Best before
Killer now but it will age for a long time to come.
Serving advice
Open and enjoy.
