Machado gives Pinot Noir a darker, more grounded expression of Sta. Rita Hills. Farmed with attention to stem ripeness and fermented with whole clusters, it speaks in structure, earth and lift. Red and black fruits, rose, thyme and tea-like spice move across a rich, round palate with quiet persistence.
