[Rita's Crown Vineyard] --------------------------------------------------------------- [2014 Byron "Rita's Crown Vineyard" Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir (Previously $65)]( Byron "Rita's Crown Vineyard" Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir (Previously $65)]( ($24.99) 93 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2014 Pinot Noir Rita's Crown is my favorite in the lineup and has a similar toasty, vanilla hint (which is present in most of these latest releases), with terrific framboise, strawberry and spice nuances developing with time in the glass. Medium-bodied, impressively concentrated and elegant, with a great finish, give bottles a year or two and drink through 2026. This is a terrific site located in the Sta. Rita Hills AVA, and this 2014 saw one-third whole clusters and 15 months in 46% new French oak." (08/2017) Stromer]( | K&L Domestic Buyer | Review Date: May 17, 2022 Perched just above the hallowed Sea Smoke vineyard, you'll find one of the Sta. Rita Hills' most extreme sites. The Rita's Crown Vineyard is a high-density planting on a steep hillside. Shallow soils, the ocean breeze, and a westerly exposure combine to make this one of the most desirable sites in Santa Barbara County for Pinot Noir. Famed Santa Barbara winemaker Jonathan Nagy and the team at Byron did a tremendous job coaxing the most out of this "precious" site. This savory little number really gets you salivating between each sip. There's plenty of black cherry, a hint of red currant, and a light punch of cranberry. This would be a most welcome wine at the original release price of $65, but it becomes an absolute steal at over 60% off! --------------------------------------------------------------- [New Feed]( [Auction]( [Local]( --------------------------------------------------------------- [On the Trail (K&L Blog)]( --------------------------------------------------------------- [Instagram]( [Instagram]( [Facebook]( [Twitter]( --------------------------------------------------------------- [BORDEAUX]( | [NAPA]( | [BURGUNDY]( | [CHAMPAGNE]( | [ITALY]( | [RHÔNE]( | [SPIRITS]( --------------------------------------------------------------- [My Account]( | [Wine Clubs]( | [Events]( |[Gift Cards]( | [Accessories]( | [Delivery]( --------------------------------------------------------------- Missed an offer?
