2024 Busy Signal Pinot Noir Santa Rita Hills

JS94 Very good concentration and length. This fans out on the palate, with toasted fennel seeds, star anise, spices, dark cherries and mixed mountain berries. Sarsaparilla in the minerally finish. Drink or hold.
JD93 The 2024 Pinot Noir Busy Signal comes from the steepest sections of the vineyard and sees a small 10% of new French oak in the cellar. It pours a relatively deep red hue and offers notes of ripe red cherry, black raspberries, brambly herbs, fresh rosemary, and lovely, savory mineral accents. Medium-bodied, it has a bit more depth and structure, although it remains light on feet, with hints of gravelly earth closing out the finish. It’s bottled under screwcap and ready to enjoy now, although it will also hold up over the coming 7-8 years.
Estate Notes: The 2024 Busy Signal Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir may be the finest Busy Signal we have made since the inaugural 2021 vintage. Coming from two remarkable Sta. Rita Hills Vineyards, this wine shows incredible richness and, most interestingly, complexity for such a young wine. 293 cases produced.
