Racines Wine 'Sainte Rose' Pinot Noir Santa Rita Hills 2019
Vintage Character
The 2019 Sta. Rita Hills Sainte-Rose Pinot Noir from Racines captures the essence of California’s celebrated cool-climate terroir, shaped by the Pacific’s fog and breezes that define this AVA. The 2019 vintage was widely regarded as excellent in Santa Barbara County, with moderate temperatures and a long, even growing season resulting in wines of notable concentration, balance, and purity of fruit.
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, red cherry, rose petal, and forest floor, accented by a gentle touch of baking spice. On the palate, it is both silky and vibrant, revealing layers of juicy red berries, pomegranate, and subtle earthy undertones, all supported by lively acidity and fine-grained tannins. The elegant, persistent finish makes it a superb match for French duck confit, wild mushroom risotto, or a classic Comté cheese, each dish highlighting the wine’s nuanced complexity and refined character.
Winery Background
Racines is the result of a unique collaboration between renowned French vignerons Étienne de Montille and Rodolphe Péters, together with Santa Barbara’s acclaimed Justin Willett, blending Burgundian heritage with the singular terroir of California’s Sta. Rita Hills. The winery’s philosophy emphasizes expressing the region’s diverse microclimates and soils through sustainable vineyard practices and a minimalist approach in the cellar. Grapes for the Sainte-Rose Pinot Noir are sourced from carefully chosen parcels within the AVA, farmed with a commitment to sustainability, and vinified using indigenous yeasts, gentle extraction, and restrained use of oak to preserve the wine’s purity and sense of place. Racines has quickly established itself as a benchmark producer in California, celebrated for its dedication to site-driven Pinot Noir crafted with old-world sensibility.
