Row Eleven Pinot Noir Santa Maria Valley 2020

Row Eleven Pinot Noir Santa Maria Valley 2020 is a vibrant and expressive cool-climate Pinot Noir from Row Eleven Winery, sourced from the acclaimed Santa Maria Valley AVA in Santa Barbara County — one of California's most distinctive and celebrated wine appellations. Santa Maria Valley's unique east-to-west orientation channels cool Pacific Ocean winds through the valley, creating a remarkably cool growing climate ideal for producing Pinot Noir of great elegance and aromatic intensity. The 2020 vintage showcases classic Santa Maria Valley character: a translucent ruby hue with an aromatic profile of strawberry, red cherry, raspberry, dried rose, and subtle earthy mineral notes. On the palate, it is silky and refined with excellent natural acidity, fine-grained tannins, and a clean, lingering, elegant finish that exemplifies the best of California's cool-climate Pinot Noir.
