Winemaker Notes: Comprised predominately of fruit from the Santa Rita Hills and the balance from Santa Maria Valley. Only the highest quality fruit is used from exceptional parcels around the County. Extremely mineral. Crushed rock, bright cherry, wet earth, game.

Press Reviews

94JAMES SUCKLING

Aromas of blue fruits with ripe yet cool strawberry character. Iron and stone. Medium to full body, with firm and chewy texture. Hints of rose stem. Fresh at the end. Really serious. Drink or hold.

93ROBERT PARKER’S WINE ADVOCATE

The 2021 Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills has a medium ruby-purple color and scents of cranberry, raspberry and blueberry with pure wafts of tea leaves and violet. The light-bodied palate is delicate, bright and chalky with a core of perfumed fruit and an ethereal, lifted finish. Best After 2022
