An exquisite showcase of coastal California terroir. The Palmier Royale 2021 Pinot Noir hails from the fog-swept slopes of the prestigious Sta. Rita Hills AVA in Santa Barbara County. Celebrated for shifting away from standard, delicate table iterations, this vintage offers a brilliantly structure-forward, heavy, and delightfully juicy footprint engineered for serious red wine lovers.
Tasting Note: Pouring a bright ruby color, this 2021 expression opens with an alluring bouquet of fresh red cherry, vanilla bean, and a unique touch of patchouli incense. On the palate, it delivers a billowy, deeply texturized mouthfeel balanced by a high-toned, crisp acidity and fine, low-impact tannins. Ripe, herb-seasoned strawberry and soft apricot nuances take the spotlight, fading into a clean, energetic, and highly expressive finish.

Because this Pinot Noir possesses a juicier weight and earthy demeanor, it pairs beautifully across an expansive menu. It acts as an incredible companion to pan-seared duck breast with cherry reduction, roasted lamb chops, or wild mushroom risotto. It is equally spectacular next to wood-fired artisan pizzas topped with prosciutto, figs, and goat cheese.
The Sta. Rita Hills AVA features a rare, purely east-to-west mountain maritime corridor. This unique layout pulls cold Pacific ocean fog directly into the vineyards every evening. This drastic temperature drop slows down grape ripening, allowing the Pinot Noir berries to develop thick skins, deep textures, and incredibly high-toned, electric acidity that makes the final wine vibrant and incredibly age-worthy.
