Description
Varietal: Made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes grown in the Sta. Rita Hills AVA. The grapes are handpicked and carefully sorted before fermentation, which takes place in small open-top tanks. The wine is aged in French oak barrels for 16 months, with 30% new oak and the remainder in second-fill barrels.
Taste: In the glass, the Alma Rosa 'El Jabali' Pinot Noir has a deep ruby hue with aromas of black cherry, raspberry, and violet. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with flavors of dark fruit, baking spice, and a hint of forest floor. The tannins are firm but well-integrated, giving the wine a silky texture and a long, lingering finish.
