As a nod to the early days of Spanish California, we are introducing our first RESRVA bottling of Pinot Noir. The fruit for this wine comes from a vineyard located on the southern side of the Santa Maria Valley appellation that was planted in the mid 1990’s on Garey Series sandy loam to the Martini Selection. Because of the vineyard’s high elevation and northern aspect, the vines receive a daily blasting of cold winds and have nutrient deficient soils. These hostile conditions thankfully contribute very small clusters and flavorful berries. Extended barrel aging in 30% new French oak allows the wine to be richer, more complex and fuller-boded than our regular Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir. The wine was completely de-stemmed furthering the fruit’s exuberance and roundness. 90-92+ points | Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
