DESCRIPTION

Tucked into the middle of the Sta. Rita Hills lies the Hapgood Vineyard. The Hapgood Vineyard lies on a very gentle north-facing incline with slightly more clay loam than other sandier sites in the area, lending to a denser palate expression. Typically the last Pinot Noir site picked by Siduri, Hapgood is never shy — with no hard edges and deftly balanced fruit, acid, earth, and tannin. The wine is incredibly fresh, with velvet tannins and that beautiful, bright, oceanic freshness that Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noirs provide. This wine is packed with flavor and elegant, with a balance that will age gracefully for many years.

Sta. Rita Hills

COLD WITH BEACH SAND FLATS AND FRACTURED CLAY CLIFFS

Winemaker’s Favorite Aspect:

It's a small AVA with a patchwork of soil types, elevations, and aspects that create varied, yet beautiful, expressions of Sta. Rita Hills.

Climate:

Cool, breezy, and refrigerated California sunshine

Regional Overview:

Cool and windy. The vines are not in a rush and take their time to ripen the fruit.

FOOD PAIRINGS:

Smoked Duck and Sta. Rita Hills Pinot is an epic experience. Santa Barbara County is steeped in barbecue tradition, and the interplay of bright, crunchy, crisp Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir and the smoky, earthy, gamy duck are incredible.
