WINE DESCRIPTION

Hartley Ostini Hitching Post Hometown Pinot Noir is produced in Santa Barbara County in California's Central Coast. This cool, coastal region is ideally suited for growing Pinot Noir, where this finicky variety can slowly reach full maturity without dropping acidity or losing its delicate aromatics. Hitching Post is owned and run by Frank Ostini, who typically ages his wines for around 18 months in neutral French oak barrels.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

The Hartley Ostini Hitching Post Hometown Pinot Noir has an attractive pale ruby color.On the nose, this wine offers aromas of ripe red berries, such as cherries, strawberries and raspberries, accompanied by subtle floral notes. There is also a hint of earthiness, adding complexity to the bouquet. The palate is silky with a medium body that is balanced and harmonious. The flavors of red fruits continue to shine, with a touch of spice. The acidity is well-integrated, providing a refreshing and lively mouthfeel.

ORIGINS

Winery: Hartley Ostini Hitching Post

Region: Central Coast California

The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States. The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.
