"Light clay with lots of stones. The most burgundian site – ‘though we don’t want to make burgundy in California, just want to have a Burgundian sensibility’, says Étienne de Montille. 70% whole bunch. The darkest of these 2020 Racines Pinots. Light nose. Lots of texture and savour underneath. Very juicy too. Firm, ripe tannins on the end. Long. 12.9% / Drink : 2025 – 2033" - Jancis Robinson : 17+/20

Viticulture

Located on the heights of La Rinconada, the parcel adjoins the remarkable Sanford & Benedict locality. The terroir is deep, the soil dark and stony. The vines come from Mount Eden in Northern California.

Oenology

In the cellar, two thirds of the grapes are kept whole. The wine is crushed and the cap is punched down during alcoholic fermentation, then matured in 228-litre barrels (30% of which are new) for 19 months.
