Racines Santa Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2020 750ml

From one of California’s most celebrated cool-climate appellations, Racines Santa Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2020 is a world-class expression of American Pinot Noir. Racines — meaning ‘roots’ in French — is the project of sommelier-turned-winemaker Kevin O’Connor, who sources fruit from the finest vineyards in the Santa Rita Hills to craft wines of extraordinary precision and depth. The 2020 vintage showcases the appellation at its finest: intense, complex and built to age.
