DESCRIPTION
The Perilune Vineyard lies in a pocket canyon along Highway 246 in the rugged and windswept Sta. Rita Hills. Perilune features a gorgeous array of steep hillsides and valley floor sections that are a winemaker's dream when it comes to winemaking and blending. Planted in 2017, this vineyard quickly became one of our favorite components for the Sta. Rita Hills blend and the very best barrels were deemed worthy of a single vineyard bottling.

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.
