Fess Parker Santa Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2024 (750ml) *

Cool Pacific fog and a long, gradual growing season make the Sta. Rita Hills one of California's more reliable homes for Pinot Noir, and this bottling from Fess Parker draws on that coastal influence. It is a 2024 Pinot Noir from the Sta. Rita Hills AVA, a wine built in the region's mold of bright red fruit and lifted aromatics rather than heft, the kind of style this stretch of Santa Barbara County has become associated with.
