2022 10 Ninths Estate 'Radius Blend' Pinot Noir Santa Rita Hills

Born from regeneratively farmed vines on the cool, wind-kissed slopes of the Sta. Rita Hills, the 2022 10 Ninths ‘Radius’ Pinot Noir delivers boutique precision with a seriously stylish edge. The nose is pure coastal elegance—damp forest floor, violets, and crushed pebbles—setting the stage for a palate of brambly dark berries, graphite, and confident, intelligent structure. The finish? A delicious hit of what can only be described as candied chaparral—brooding, weighty, and wildly drinkable.

From the former Hilliard Bruce estate, founder Michael Mente tapped serious talent with consulting winemaker Frédéric Ammons (Rudd, Harlan) and daily winemaker Alice Anderson (Âmevive), crafting a Pinot that marries eco-luxury with pure Sta. Rita Hills energy. At this quality level, the $45 pedigree is unmistakable.

Share it with friends or save it for someone who really knows their Pinot—either way, you’ll want more than one bottle. Grab yours before it disappears.
