The Hilt Santa Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2018 Size::1 Bottle and classic aged Cabernet characters—emergingThis is definitely a new cult winery in the making with many of its wines already on allocation. Based in the Santa Rita Hills the estate wines come from plots in the southwestern corner of the estate. The Pinot Noir has a lovely savoury edge to it with notes of hedgerow berries, dried sage, rosemary and a hint of mint. On the palate these wild notes come through with a vibrant lift of red berries and wonderfully fine tannins.
