    About the Wine

    Santa Rita Hills AVA is located on California's Central Coast in Santa Barbara County. This appellation is rapidly becoming one of the favorites of the most important wine critics in the world. Wine Spectator said: “This appellation in Santa Barbara County is quickly making a name for itself courtesy of some delicious Pinot Noirs”, and James Suckling stated that he’s “In love with Santa Rita Hills Pinot Noir. They are bold and rich wines yet balanced and refined with wonderful freshness and length”.

    Its privileged location, close to the Pacific Ocean, allows a refreshing sea breeze to cool the vineyards, and combined with the sedimentary limestone soil, this AVA is producing some of the best Pinot Noirs in the new world. 

    Kimberly Smith, owner, and winemaker of LaMontagne is a visionary and passionate businesswoman; her great love for Pinot Noir was what led her to the tireless search of discovering how to produce the best wines from this grape. In 2006, she began to plot her dream with the help of his mentor, winemaker Wes Hagen. Hagen was named in 2013 as “One of the 100 most influential winemakers in the USA” according to Decanter.

    Currently, Kimberly works hand in hand with her son Alec, who despite his young age, has been a key person in the development of the winery; he has had the opportunity to be involved in the process since the start of LaMontagne. Together, they're producing award-winning Pinots and Chardonnays.

    This wine comes from Strange Vineyard. This vineyard has a spectacular terroir composed of sandy loam soils, and a fresh climate influenced by its proximity to the Pacific Ocean. It is managed with sustainable practices.

    2014 was an outstanding vintage in this region, it was rewarded 94 Points by Wine Advocate and Vinous Media.

    Tasting Notes: 100% Pinot Noir. Powerful notes filled with dark fruit like blackberry. On the palate, the wine is concentrated, with soft tannins, a present and fresh acidity, and a long finish. Today’s the perfect time to drink this wine! Pair it with grilled meat, BBQ burgers, or aged cheeses.
