Racines Wine Pinot Noir Santa Rita Hills 2019
Vintage Character
The 2019 Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir from Racines exemplifies the cool-climate finesse of this celebrated California AVA. The 2019 vintage was widely regarded as excellent, marked by a long, temperate growing season and persistent marine breezes that preserved the wine’s freshness and aromatic vibrancy.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
Awarded an impressive 94 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, this Pinot Noir opens with alluring aromas of wild strawberry, fresh cherry, and rose petal, complemented by subtle hints of forest floor and baking spice. On the palate, it is lively yet refined, with a silken texture, bright acidity, and fine-grained tannins supporting juicy red fruit, delicate cranberry, and a touch of earthiness. The finish is long and pure, underscored by mineral nuances and a distinct coastal freshness. Its nuanced character makes it a versatile companion at the table, pairing beautifully with roasted duck, mushroom risotto, or a classic French Comté cheese.
Winery Background
Racines is a collaborative venture uniting the expertise of Burgundian winemakers Étienne de Montille and Rodolphe Péters with Santa Barbara’s Justin Willett. Their shared philosophy centers on expressing the unique terroirs of the Sta. Rita Hills through traditional, low-intervention winemaking methods. The vineyards are farmed organically, with a strong focus on vine health and soil vitality, allowing the pure character of Pinot Noir to take center stage. Racines distinguishes itself by blending Old World sensibility with New World precision, crafting wines that are both elegant and deeply evocative of their coastal origins.
