Perched on sandy bluffs overlooking the ocean, Sierra Madre is the coolest and westernmost vineyard that are sourced in Santa Maria Valley. The selected the fruit for this Pinot Noir from a sandy block planted to Clone 667. After aging in Francois Freres barrels, the resulting wine expresses brambly red fruit and graphite with a hint of wilted rose petal, followed by bright acid and smooth tannins.
The 2015 Byron Sierra Madre Vineyard Pinot Noir exudes notes of rose petal, hints of dark cherry and cracked walnut. Very silky tannins with a long smokey finish.
