It is a perfect representation of the unique terroir of the Santa Cruz Mountains and a must-try for Pinot Noir enthusiasts.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Racines Rinconada Vineyard Pinot Noir is a vibrant and complex wine with a ruby red hue in the glass.The nose is bursting with aromas of cranberry, ripe cherry, and freshly turned earth. On the palate, it is full-bodied and silky, with flavors of blackberry, baking spices, and a hint of smoked meat. The finish is long and lingering with hints of toasted oak and allspice. Enjoy this delectable Pinot Noir with lamb, game, or a selection of aged cheeses.

ORIGINS

Winery: Racines

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.
