The 2022 Racines La Rinconada Pinot Noir is a single-vineyard Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir from California’s Santa Barbara County. Sourced from the upper sections of La Rinconada Vineyard beside Sanford & Benedict, it shows black raspberry, dark cherry and cranberry with rose, white pepper, herbs and crushed-stone notes.

On the palate, it is medium-bodied and focused, with vibrant fruit, fresh acidity and fine, structured tannins leading to a long mineral finish. 75% whole-cluster fermentation and 19 months in French oak, including 25% new barrels, add savoury complexity while preserving freshness.

Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for those who enjoy structured cool-climate Pinot Noir with fragrant fruit, mineral character and fine tannins. Best from around 2027–2034, with potential to develop beyond this period. Ideal with roast duck, lamb, mushroom dishes, game birds or roast chicken.
