2024 Pali Wine Co. "Wild Series" Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills, California, USA

ABOUT THE WINE

The 2024 “Wild Series” Pinot Noir from Pali Wine Co. highlights the dynamic character of Sta. Rita Hills, one of California’s premier cool-climate Pinot Noir appellations. Influenced by strong ocean winds and long growing seasons, the vineyards produce fruit with exceptional freshness, aromatic intensity, and natural balance.

This Pinot Noir opens with layered aromas of red berries, cranberry, violet, and dried herbs, complemented by hints of clove, tea leaf, and earthy minerality. On the palate, vibrant red fruit flavors are supported by lively acidity and a refined texture, while restrained oak aging adds subtle depth and complexity without overshadowing the wine’s purity.

The “Wild Series” reflects Pali Wine Co.’s commitment to minimal-intervention winemaking and authentic site expression. Crafted to emphasize freshness and drinkability, the wine offers both elegance and energy, making it a versatile pairing for grilled salmon, roasted duck, mushroom dishes, or charcuterie.
