Rita Hills, just 13 miles from the Pacific. Radian climbs to nearly 700 feet on rocky, diatomaceous soils; Bentrock runs 400–500 feet across long rolling hills of clay and shale. Both force vines to dig deep, ripen slowly, and hold acidity even in warm years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2021 is a blend of miscellaneous clones from both sites, aged 11 months in 20% new and 80% neutral French oak. What comes out is simultaneously earth-driven and vivid—black cherry, hibiscus, cigar box, and that distinct salinity the AVA leaves on everything that grows there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePAIRINGS :\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eDuck confit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eearthy richness mirrors the wine's savory depth without overwhelming the fruit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eRoasted mushroom risotto\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eumami and earthiness align with the wine's mineral, cigar box notes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eGrilled salmon with pinot noir reduction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ebright acidity and moderate weight complement richer fish preparations\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Eastside Cellars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62559760580767,"sku":"8474","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/eastsidecellars.com\/products\/the-hilt-pinot-noir-estate-santa-rita-hills-750ml","provider":"Eastside Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
