Donnachadh Santa Rita Hills Estate Organic Pinot Noir 2023, California

Donnachadh is a small, family-owned vineyard in the Santa Rita Hills AVA of Santa Barbara County. Situated just 8 miles from the Pacific Ocean, the property uses organic farming practices and minimal intervention in the cellar. The Duncans released their first vintage in 2016, and today, along with esteemed Winemaker, Ernst Storm, Donnachadh continues to produce wines of character and refinement. Their goal is to balance Old World elegance with the authentic spirit of the vineyard to let the fruit and terroir shine. This appellation cuvée bottling comes directly from the estate and makes for a phenomenally priced opportunity to taste one of the more exciting properties in the region. It delivers crushed cherry, wild rose with pepper, bay leaf and chaparral flavours. It is perfect for fatty fish like salmon and lean meats like chicken and lamb chops.
