Verkostungsnotizen
Vinous 88
The 2021 Pinot Noir Bentrock is an intriguing wine from one of the best sites in the Sta. Rita Hills. It presents a decidedly savory and spiced profile, even though it was made from fully destemmed fruit. There is good energy and complexity here, but I also wish there was a bit more freshness. I am also not sure about the decision to bottle at ten months in oak. Overall, I was hoping for more site expression.
Anticipated maturity: 2023-2027
