JA Ranch Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir

Sta. Rita Hills

JA Ranch Pinot Noir, part of the Foley Brand Series, honors the relatives of vintner Bill Foley who settled the Texas Panhandle in the 1840s as ranchers, cattlemen and Texas Rangers. We hand select the best Chardonnay barrel lots from our estate vineyards to create a wine that is a unique interpretation of the varietal and beautiful vineyard ranches from which it comes.

Tasting Notes

Bright aromas of perfumed raspberry and rich black cherry jam lead the way. On the palate, this wine is elegantly light-bodied and mouthwatering, bursting with juicy black cherry. The experience rounds out with delicate hints of cran raspberry and candied violets on the finish.

Located in the Sta. Rita Hills AVA of Santa Barbara County, the grapes for this wine comes from stunning hillside vineyards that climb from 500 to 1,000 feet above sea level. The soils are marine-based and the weather is consistently cool thanks to ocean breezes that sweep the property daily. Originally conceived as a series of individual micro-vineyards delineated by soil, exposure, elevation, grade, rootstock, and clone, these vineyards are farmed with painstaking care and attention to detail.
