2019 La Encantada Pinot Noir

The La Encantada Vineyard is situated approximately 9 miles from the Pacific Ocean in the cool-climate Sta. Rita Hills AVA. Located off Santa Rosa Road in the southern valley of the appellation, this highly praised vineyard was planted by Richard Sanford in 2001. Notable for the rare east/west orientation of the valley, it is planted on rolling hills and a mesa approximately 300 feet above the Santa Ynez riverbed. It is this orientation that allows it to be influenced to the fog and cold, relentless marine winds from the mighty Pacific. This source consistently produces a signature wine with a unique character, elegance, and a deft balance lending a true sense of place.
