"the creation of great wines comes from the unique interaction between the place, the vintage and the human factor"

The newest development by the Miller Family, founders of Bien Nacido Vineyards, this fine project adds a new level of refinement to this region. This vineyard is planted with the newest, most desirable clones of Pinot Noir grown in the coolest part of the Santa Maria Valley. From the first few vintages, wines from this vineyard made by other producers showed great potential.

Knowing Vineyard Manager Greg Phelan’s enthusiasm and commitment, I was motivated to select this vineyard for my second Pinot Noir.
