2018 Sanford Winery La Rinconada Vineyard Chardonnay, Sta Rita Hills, USA (750ml) San Luis Obispo County The 2021 Barolo Castiglione isWINEMAKER'S NOTE: This Pinot Noir is dark ruby in color and is very spice driven on the nose with cloves, lavender, wild mushrooms, and forest floor. The palate delivers spice and savory, dark fruits, espresso, and leather with balanced acid and suave tannin structure, which carries the lovely finish. The wine was aged in French Oak barrels (25% new oak) for 11 months where it gained complexity and elegance.
