El Pino Club Sea Floored Pinot Noir

| Description: | Tasting Notes\r\nBright aromas of red rose petals, damp leaves, and cranberry cola. Underbrush notes on the palate include dried blue flowers. Streamlined acidity and a silky mouthfeel, with earth, slate, pomegranate, red tea, and cinnamon. Named for its maritime proximity and ancient sea bed soils. Aged 15 months in French oak.\r\nVINEYARDS\r\nFruit was sourced exclusively from our two estate vineyards in the Sta. Rita Hills, each sited to benefit from the cooling influence of the Pacific Ocean. The Rancho Santa Rosa vineyard is planted on steep, south-facing slopes in limestone soils. Rancho Las Hermanas is the westernmost property in the AVA, with vines growing in over six different soil types, all of ancient marine origin.\r\nVINTAGE\r\nThe 2018 growing season got off to a fast start with a warm February, followed by a cooler spring. Warm weather arrived mid-June with no extreme heat spikes, allowing the grapes to retain their acid levels with slow and steady maturation of flavors. Picking was three weeks later than usual, but the gradual ripening rendered rich and in-depth flavor profiles that were worth the wait.\r\nWine Enthusiast 93 Points\r\nAbout El Pino Club\r\nWe created El Pino Club because we freaking love Pinot.
