Description
Truly profound single vineyard Pinot Noir reflects its site, and the renowned Fiddlestix Vineyard is a great example of pedigree. Nestled on a hillside mere miles from the Pacific Ocean, and displaying violet, earth, black tea and blueberry characteristics, the wine's silky palate and long, spice-tinged finish does not disappoint.

ABOUT BYRON
Since 1984, Byron has cultivated an obsession for crafting site-specific Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from distinctive vineyards within Santa Barbara County’s two defining appellations: Santa Maria Valley and Sta. Rita Hills. The wines explore each vineyard’s block and row distinctions defined by soil, microclimate, fog cover, wind, exposure, elevation, clonal selection and farming techniques.
