Santa Barbara County is one of the oldest and dynamic wine producing areas in California, home to seven American Viticulture Areas (AVA’s). The distinctive valleys in this region open toward the ocean, resulting in oceanic soils and contributing to the savory characteristics found in our wines.

Julia’s Vineyard was planted in 1991 in the heart of the Santa Maria Bench on the Cambria Winery estate. Pinot Noirs from this site generally show more bright red fruit components than counterparts in the Sta. Rita Hills, due in part to higher average temperatures and soils of ancient volcanic ash and sandy loam. This bottling is comprised of 100% Clone 23; four barrels produced.
CRAFT
Only neutral barrels are employed. We strive for whole cluster fermentation. We farm with a focus of ripening the stems alongside the fruit, allowing the cluster to be in harmony. Working with the stems allows for wines that are structured, earthy and balanced with our beautiful Sta. Rita Hills fruit. We often use the analogy of roasting fish or meat on the bone, the bone offers complex flavors very different than taking it off of the bone to cook it.
CELLARING
All of the wines are produced with the intention of aging and cellaring for at least 10 years and can easily be enjoyed after 15 years.
We have an uncompromising commitment to quality. Using sustainable and organic farming methods, we work to achieve a balance between the site, the vines, and the microclimates in each vineyard.
