Santa Maria Valley has as its hallmark one of the few valleys on the North and South American Pacific Coast that runs transverse to the ocean, funneling cool marine breezes inland. Set between the San Rafael Mountains to the north and the Solomon Hills to the south, this unique feature and reliable California heat produce an unusually long wine-grape growing season and "hang time" (125 days on average). The result is complex wines with intense flavors, and naturally balanced acidity.
ANTONIO GALLONI 90 POINTS - "The 2018 Pinot Noir (Santa Maria Valley) is precise, beautiful and expressive, all in an airy, mid-weight style that offers tons of appeal and immediacy. Crushed flowers, rose petal, mint, cedar and sweet pipe tobacco give this ethereal Pinot attractive layers of dimension."
