2022 Diseño de California Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir

Back again for the 2022 vintage, once again Diseno is a collaboration between K&L and one of the most prestigious and highly acclaimed wineries in Santa Barbara. This wine is sourced from some of the most revered estate vineyards in all of the Sta. Rita Hills. Basically we get extra barrels and lots that don't fit the program for their own wines that sell for $50-90. We work out a killer price, put it under this private label, and are sworn to secrecy not to reveal who made it or exactly what vineyards it was sourced from. So if you're looking for one of the sharpest deals out there in Pinot Noir, you've found it! This is classic Sta. Rita Hills Pinot with potent bright red berry fruits, silk textures, Asian spice, fresh vibrant acidity, and tons of minerality from those white diatomaceous earth and chert soils. It's drinking beautifully right out of the bottle with all that primary, youthful fruit, but it will also settle in and continue to improve for 3-5 years and probably age 10 years if you're so inclined. I couldn't be happier with this ongoing project; last vintage both the rosé and Pinot Noir sold out fast when folks got to taste just how good the wine is for the price...and this vintage we sharpened the pencil even further getting the Pinot Noir under $20! Yep, seriously good Sta. Rita Hills grown Pinot Noir, from a top winemaker, under $20!
