The Hilt Pinot Noir
The Hilt was founded in 2008 in the Santa Rita Hills, Santa Barbara. The region of Santa Barbara reached only 28°C last year, the coolest wine growing area in the state of California. The unobstructed, ocean facing east-west valley known as Santa Rita Hills Valley is a complex AVA. One could divide it into four quadrants: northern-facing, southern-facing, close to the ocean, and further inland from the ocean. With such a frame, The Hilt’s favourite vineyards are in the northern-facing, closest to the ocean, windswept quadrant. The Estate Pinot Noir is aged in 8% New French oak, 92% neutral French oak for 11 months.
