نبيذ بينوت نوار 2022، سانتا كروز كاونتي - OGDEN WINE CO. 'ريو ديل مار فينيارد'

That blood orange note really cuts through the lean body, making it feel more refreshing than most pinots I've tried. The rose petal on the finish lingers just enough to keep me reaching for another sip.

The cherry and pomegranate notes really come through the moment you take a sip, and that rose petal hint makes it feel more refined than most Pinots in this price range. It's lean but not thin—the perfect bottle for a quiet weeknight dinner.

Opened this with a seafood pasta and the lean body paired beautifully. The blood orange and rose petal finish lingered just long enough to make the last sip feel like a small vacation.
