Winemaker Notes:
The Bien Nacido Vineyard is located in the Santa Maria Valley appellation on the South Central Coast of California. The topography of the valley features transverse ranges with an east/west orientation, opening up to the Pacific Ocean. The climate is strongly influenced by the ocean providing ideal temperate growing conditions for Pinot Noir. Early spring warming, mild summer temperatures and late arriving cold fall temperatures provide a long growing season for the development of rich color and a concentrated palate. The original vines were planted on their own roots to Martini and Pommard clones, yielding complex, old world styled flavors with a silky mouthfeel and structure built for the long haul.
