Liquid Farm Radian Vineyard Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2021

The 2021 Pinot Noir Radian Vineyard is brilliant, with a lighter ruby hue, gorgeous aromatics of spiced strawberries, tart cherries, rose petals, spicy herbs, and forest floor, medium-bodied richness, ultra-fine tannins, and a great finish. Built around nuance and elegance as opposed to power or richness, it's going to evolve for a solid decade. As with the other releases here, the only downside is it’s made in tiny quantities. 

The 2021 Pinot Noir Radian Vineyard has pure scents of raspberry and blackberry jam, aniseed, wildflowers and lemon peel framed by integrated oak spices. The medium-bodied palate offers generous, spicy fruit, an alluringly silky texture, and its fresh acidity compels you to take another delicious sip.
