2022 | Melville Estate Sandy's Pinot Noir | Sta Rita Hills

From a northern section of Melville East planted on sand and fermented with 50% whole clusters, the 2022 Pinot Noir Sandy's Block is the most approachable Pinot Noir of the roster. The nose is red-fruited and multifaceted, merging incense, spice and dried flower notes with lifted herbal energy. The palate is lacy and focused, braced with a gently succulent acidity.
