2018 Racines ‘Santa Rita Hills Cuvee’ Pinot Noir
£62.00
“Illustrious names like de Montille and Péters are behind this French-American co-production. Smoke and tart, red berry notes rise from the glass, revealing streaks of cranberry and Morello cherry. The palate then reveals a richer, smoother seam of gently vanilla-kissed cherry, but all remains absolutely slender and sinuous, yet concentrated. A wonderful smoky resonance persists.”
Racines is a collaboration between two classic houses from France, led by vignerons Étienne de Montille and Brian Sieve of Burgundy and Rodolphe Péters of Champagne. The team came together to join their individual experiences in hand-crafting wines of purity and transparency to create a range of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from the cool climate of the Sta. Rita Hills in California.
