Chiron 'Lucid Dream' Rancho Ontiveros Vineyard Pinot Noir '21

From the famed Sta. Rita Hills estate vineyard, this Pinot Noir shimmers with a deep garnet core. The nose erupts with an intoxicating perfume of black cherry, violets, and crushed stone with subtle stem spice nuances. The palate delivers extraordinary depth - flavors of plum, cocoa powder, and roasted herbs unfold with velvety tannins that earned 95-97 point accolades. Aged 16 months in French oak (40% new), this 14.2% alcohol wine finishes with minute-long persistence. Decant for squab or cellar until 2035+ - the 2021 vintage produced Sta. Rita Hills Pinots of legendary quality.
