Samsara Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills 2018 750 ML

Complex aromatics with big fruit focus and more subtle minerality and chaparral/herbal qualities as well. Generous on the palate with richness and fruit-driven flavors, with bright acidity that helps maintain freshness and balance. Silky texture with fine but firm tannins providing structure and length.n n This appellation blend is juicy while elegant, starting with aromas of black raspberry, intense hibiscus and a hint of carnation. The vibrant palate bounces from lively blasts of crushed currants, red plum and pomegranate to spicy tones of white pepper.This appellation blend is juicy while elegant, starting with aromas of black raspberry, intense hibiscus and a hint of carnation.

Rita Hill’s most distinctive vineyards. The resulting wines are an interpretation of the tenuous balance between the power of natural elements beyond our control and the human desire to reach perfection. New England natives, Dave and Joan Szkutak, share a fundamental love of travel and all things enological. They help guide SAMsARA as vintners and work closely with winemaker Matt Brady, supporting his creative decisions in both the vineyard and the cellar.
