Hitching Post Pinot Noir "HIGHLINER" Santa Barbara County 750mL
Vintage: | 2021 |
---|---|
Description: | "The fruit for 2021 Highliner came from 5 different vineyards with the majority sourced from the iconic Sanford & Benedict Vineyard in the Sta. Rita Hills appellation. All vineyards and clones are harvested and produced separately using traditional burgundian techniques. 20 months barrel age in French oak along with masterful blending, brought all the elements to a harmonious whole. "We enjoy making Highliner the most of any of our wines, states Frank Ostini. Utilizing the different flavors and textures from all of these vineyards creates a complex and balanced wine that plays to the many keys of Pinot Noir. The 2021 vintage is the best vintage of the 2000s to date. Antonio Galloni 91 Points - "The 2021 Pinot Noir Highliner is a blend of fruit from the Sta. Rita Hills and Santa Maria. This is more floral and earthy in style, but it works well. Crushed flowers, mint, cedar, sweet pipe tobacco and incense waft out of the glass." |
