Three decades of farming exceptional, cold-climate wines in the Sta. Rita Hills of Santa Barbara County. We take great pride in our commitment to “winegrowing"—working in harmony with Mother Nature to nurture our land through organic and sustainable farming practices.

The selection of clones 114 and 667 (planted north to south) in tandem with the deep loam soil all combine to create small berries and ripe stems, ideal for creating a sophisticated balance we love. Cranberry, ripe pomegranate, and ripe red fruits along with some savory iron, green peppercorn, rosemary and dried orange peel give way to the assertive yet elegant texture. Great pinots make you stop and think; take a moment with this one.

Over on the west side lies Anna’s Block, planted in 2001 on a gentle southern slope in the northwest portion of the vineyard. This area is one of our most even-ripening blocks as the rows are planted in a north-south orientation, receiving a consistent exposure to the cold-climate sun. The soil is a well-drained and low nutrient sandy loam, causing the vines to work incredibly hard to survive. This stress, combined with our targeted care and attention, leads Anna’s to produce small clusters and small berries, which equate to concentrated fruit that is exquisitely perfumed and inviting. Planted to two Dijon clones working well in tandem, Clone 667 is known for producing high-quality wines in Burgundy and brings intense color, structure, depth and ageability, while the earlier ripening Clone 114 offers richness and stuffing. 67% whole cluster.
