Ex Post Facto Pinot Noir 2024

$30.99
Motivated by a desire to demonstrate our appellation in its most streamlined form, we are thrilled to launch our inaugural release of Ex Post Facto Pinot Noir with the 2024 vintage. Thoughtfully selected blocks within our estate vineyards were completely destemmed, managed solely by hand throughout fermentation and subsequently raised in completely neutral barrels for a succinct chapter of élevage. The outcome of those collective circumstances is a wine with tremendous purity, showcasing the unbridled energy and vibrancy of our Sta. Rita Hills.

Made from 100% Pinot Noir that was completely destemmed and aged just three months in neutral barrels, the 2024 Pinot Noir boasts a ruby, semi-opaque color and gives up juicy blackberry, mulberries, peppery herbs, and sappy, floral-driven notes. Medium-bodied, pure, and juicy on the palate, it has an incredibly supple, seamless mouthfeel, nicely integrated acidity, and ripe tannins. This is one heck of a value, offering plenty of richness and ripeness while staying balanced, light on its feet, and weightless.
