The Story

Planted on the south-facing slopes of Santa Maria Valley’s famed Bien Nacido Vineyard, this Pinot Noir is a study in precision and place. Crafted by Joey Tensley from select blocks—Mt. Eden and Swan clones—on alluvial soils, the wine reflects both the cool-climate purity and sun-drenched power of this iconic site. Each vintage is vinified and aged in French oak to capture the vineyard’s natural structure and textural grace. The result is a Pinot Noir that is at once complex, plush, and rooted in Santa Barbara’s most legendary terroir.
