The Hilt, Radian Vineyard Pinot Noir Vintage:2018 Dark ruby with some evolutionVineyards for The Hilt wines are all high altitude, but Radians ridgelines are the steepest, reaching nearly 700 feet at its highest points. Outcrops of diatomaceous earth and rocky soils dominate Radian and ultimately help define the type of fruit the vines yield. The rocky soils at the top of Radian offer good drainage and heat retention, an aspect critical to the production of ripe fruit at high elevation with Sta Rita Hills cold, whipping winds.
