Pinot Noir, Santa Barbara County 2022

A blend from 6 vineyards from two appellations. The vineyards are Bien Nacido (Santa Maria Valley), Rancho Real (Santa Maria Valley), Rancho Ontiveros (Santa Maria Valley), Rancho La Cuna (SBC) Kick On (SBC), and Los Alamos (SBC). Our winemaking has changed little in 40 years; we are still making handcrafted wines using the same basic, time proven techniques. We still hand harvest, ferment in small lots, do daily, manual punch downs, and use François Frères French oak (about 10% new) aging 12 months in barrel.
