In the glass, it pours a clear, lighter ruby hue with delicate garnet reflections. The nose is a delightfully atmospheric and distinct playground, instantly greeting you with a fragrant bouquet of sour cherries, wild cranberries, and muddled raspberries, beautifully layered with complex undertones of blood orange peel, fresh lavender oil, sassafras, and a distinct, soulful whiff of damp forest floor, potting soil, and warm cardamom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eOn the palate, it delivers a gorgeous, weightless structural ride; it glides across the tongue with a silken, pure texturized mouthfeel that floats effortlessly. Yet, it remains fiercely focused and alive—thanks to the chilly Sta. Rita Hills nights, a driving beam of racy, citrus-tinged acidity cuts right through the delicate mid-palate, while fine-grained, powdery tannins provide a polished architectural framework. It sails smoothly into a long, bone-dry finish highlighted by a savory trail of sautéed mushrooms, baking spices, and a refreshing, saline-rich coastal mineral snap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Wine Trust","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50683581595713,"sku":"fbs1792018154101","price":28.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/4236\/2433\/files\/ampelos-pinot-noir-srh-single-vineyard_1.png?v=1792018159","url":"https:\/\/overdoorhangfit.shop\/products\/ampelos-pinot-noir-srh-single-vineyard","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
