Herbs, toasted spice, licorice and mulled red fruits define the 2013 Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills, and, as far as Pinot Noir goes, it's a terrific value. Possessing plenty of fruit and ripe tannin, it's delicious now, yet should easily keep for 4-5 years. Note, this is a multi-vineyard blend that’s mostly John Sebastiano and La Encantada, but includes smaller parts from Fiddlestix, Radian, Bentrock and Duvarita. It saw a tiny portion with whole clusters and 16 months all in neutral oak.
