Description
For all you meteorologists out there, it may surprise you to learn that 'SRH' in the name here doesn't actually refer to the Southern Region Headquarters of the National Weather Service. Instead, it's shorthand for the Santa Rita Hills where this wine was grown.

Tasting Notes
This is one of the more elegant and satisfyingly dark expressions of Pinot Noir in its price range, starting with aromas of sugarplum, hibiscus, dark berries, crushed slate and moist earth. The palate combines rose petals, baked boysenberry and dark cocoa with a strong streak of earthy minerality, all upheld by chalky tannins. Editors' Choice. Score - 93.
