2018 Racines Pinot Noir La Rinconada Vineyard Sta. Rita Hills

The 2018 Pinot Noir La Rinconada is a very pretty, airy wine. Crushed rose petal, mint, sage, cedar and dried herbs give the Racines Rinconada a good deal of aromatic lift. This is an especially translucent style. Whole clusters are evident but not overdone. I would cellar the 2018 for at least a year or two, as it is a bit edgy and not totally put together just yet.
