Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Our 2013 Bien Nacido Vineyard Pinot Noir from the Santa Maria Valley is a rich tapestry of floral, fruity and spicy elements from this renowned vineyard. It has an intense red-rose color and a nose of rose petal, cardamom and plum. It has a spicy attack, flavors of cherry cola, white pepper and roasted meat on the palate and a resinous element knitting the fruit to the tannin structure. This gives a deeply textured, yet balanced mouthfeel. This wine is captivating with its intense color, lingering fruit and finely woven palate.

Professional Ratings

90 Wine & Spirits
With its aromas of cherry skin and candied violets, this has a charming immediacy. The fruit is tangy and lithe, driven by clean acidity, already approachable. It doesn’t have a lot of depth to its structure, but it’s an elegant and exuberant wine to drink young.

Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir

View all products

Santa Maria Valley lies mainly in northern Santa Barbara County, with a small portion of it overlapping southern San Luis Obispo County. It is close to the Pacific, and runs east-west, which means warmer air in the eastern end draws cool air off the ocean in the west, and brings it through the valley. This effect, combined with abundant sunshine, lengthens the growing season. The longer growing season leads to long hang time, which promotes both ripeness and optimal acidity levels in grape berries. As early as the 1970’s, Santa Maria Valley was recognized as being a superior source of wine grapes, certainly including Chardonnay and Syrah. But arguably the top variety here is Pinot Noir.

Originally a domain primarily of growers, including the Miller Family of the justifiably famous Bien Nacido Vineyard, this AVA is now home to over 30 wineries. Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir consistently offers full flavors of cherry, strawberry and raspberry, often accompanied by notes of spice, cola, vanilla and earth. They show impressive balance and elegance, as well as great versatility with food.
