The Winery Located on the Foxen Canyon Wine trail in Santa Barbara County, California, the winery is part of a 38,000 acre ranch. Rancho Sisquoc Winery is proud to have been hand crafting wines since 1972.
The Vineyard Our vineyard is comprised of over 300 acres planted on south facing slopes on the Sisquoc River. Unique microclimates allow us to grow several varieties, and to produce grapes that offer distinct flavor and quality.
The Philosophy Our winemaking philosophy is a simple one: We create high quality wines in limited quantities, and offer them at a reasonable price.
Winemaker’s Notes Deep ruby in color with a smooth nose full of strawberry, this Pinot is true to it’s terroir of the Santa Maria Valley. Moderate in viscosity with a great balance of silky texture and fruit forward intensity. Submissive tannins lend for a smooth and supple finish.
