Wines from this vineyard, owned and managed by the Burk and Espinosa families, have fascinated me for many years. Located in the heart of the Santa Maria Valley, these low-yielding vines, over 16 years old, grow on a sandy plateau.

This terroir creates Pinot Noir of fragrance and fine texture that’s reminiscent of fine Burgundies. My friendship with Vineyard Manager Gary Burk adds a special dimension to my experiences with this vineyard.
