It captures the region’s character with red-fruited brightness, fine structure, and a transparent style that feels both refined and expressive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, this Pinot Noir shows a vivid, translucent ruby hue. The nose opens with red berries, cherry, and floral notes, lifted by a subtle spicy edge that adds complexity without overwhelming the fruit.\n\nThe palate is juicy and focused, with lively fruit, a fine-grained tannic structure, and a fresh, polished finish. Built on balance rather than power, it should continue to develop nicely over the next few years, gaining softness and nuance with bottle age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSourced from selected vineyards in the Santa Cruz Mountains, the wine reflects a landscape of sandy, rocky, and slate-dominated soils under a cool, maritime-influenced climate. These conditions encourage slow ripening and help preserve freshness, clarity, and site expression in the finished wine.\n\nThe grapes were selectively harvested and handled gently, with a restrained vinification approach designed to highlight freshness, structure, and terroir transparency. Production is small, and the winemaking is intentionally precise to maintain the wine’s natural balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Pinot Noir is an excellent match for duck, poultry, and veal, as well as mushroom dishes or mature hard cheeses. Serve it slightly cool at 15–17°C, and decanting is not essential, though a short airing can help the wine open up if served young.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bottle Hero","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54256306684241,"sku":"FFWS-2749","price":39.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/DesignohneTitel_244.jpg?v=1783463343","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/2022-pinot-noir-sandar-hem-santa-cruz-mountains-075l","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
