Alma Rosa Winery's Pinot Noir is a testament to the unique terroir of the Sta. Rita Hills. Situated on the north-facing slopes of the Santa Rosa Hills in Santa Barbara County, our vineyard benefits from cool Pacific Ocean breezes. This results in Pinot Noir wines that are layered, vibrant, and balanced. The 2020 Barrel Select Pinot Noir is medium-bodied and ultra-refreshing, with detailed, layered flavors that impressively unfurl over time. It offers structural harmony, an intoxicating perfume, and exceptional length.

Composition: Predominantly Pinot Noir grapes. Vine age and soil type vary across our estate.
Winemaking: Carefully crafted through a meticulous fermentation and vinification process.
Aging: Aged in select barrels to enhance flavor and complexity.

Wine Critic Reviews

Robert Parker The Wine Advocate (97): 

The 2020 Pinot Noir Barrel Select comes from the El Jabalí vineyard, was made with 10% whole clusters and matured in 45% new oak. It has a medium ruby-purple color and loads of black and red cherry fruit with savory accents of graphite, tar, mushrooms and pipe tobacco. Medium-bodied, chalky and ultra refreshing, it offers detailed, layered flavors despite its broody aromatics, and unfurls impressively over time in the glass, offering structural harmony, intoxicating perfume and length. 502 cases of this gorgeous Pinot Noir were made.
