2021 Dragonette 'Radian Vineyard' Pinot Noir Santa Rita Hills
“From a great terroir on the western side of the Sta. Rita Hills, the 2021 Pinot Noir Radian Vineyard has a semi-opaque ruby hue as well as a terrific nose of mulled black cherries, scorched earth, toasted spice, and savory herbs. With tons of salty, mineral nuances on the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, and has perfectly integrated acidity, ripe tannins, and outstanding length. It's one of my favorites in the lineup from Dragonette in 2021. It will have 15+ years of overall longevity.” – Jeb Dunnuck

From a great terroir on the western side of the Sta. Rita Hills, the 2021 Pinot Noir Radian Vineyard has a semi-opaque ruby hue as well as a terrific nose of mulled black cherries, scorched earth, toasted spice, and savory herbs. With tons of salty, mineral nuances on the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, has perfectly integrated acidity, ripe tannins, and outstanding length. It's one of my favorites in the lineup from Dragonette in 2021. This benefits from air and will ideally be given 2-3 years of bottle age. It will have 15+ years of overall longevity.

Tight, very focused and structured, with forest-floor, cherry, dried-strawberry and spice character. Medium-bodied with a solid core of fruit. Yet, it’s reserved and so focused. Real. Drink or hold.
