DESCRIPTION
The complimentary vineyards of John Sebastiano, Hapgood and the Perilune Vineyard – planted on steep slopes of the Sta. Rita Hills – proved to be wonderful blend partners. They seamlessly offer flavors of the full spectrum of red, blue and black fruits, with a finely tannic structure woven together against a backdrop of fresh acidity.
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.
